It is the intent of this organization to learn to live in a technical world. It is our intent to provide pathways for students, advisors and administrators in our great state.

If you have insights, comments or information that would be pertinent to Kansas TSA, please contact the Kansas TSA office.

TSA is not extracurricular; it is an integral part of the classroom instructional program. TSA provides teachers and members with educational and leadership development activities to merge with the classroom instructional program, teaching the skills that a successful career in the technical area requires.

Working hand-in-hand with the educational and business communities, TSA ’s goal is for its members to develop a “career success kit” to carry into their professional and personal lives after graduation, including:

* Occupational skills needed for careers in the technical field
* Leadership skills
* An understanding and appreciation of civic responsibility
* Ethical behavior in personal and business relationships
* An understanding of the role of technical skills in the global economy
* Preparation for higher learning

To accomplish this, TSA uses local chapter projects and a program of competency-based competitive events in specific technical areas. These events emphasize academic and vocational excellence as building blocks for successful technical careers and demonstrate the direct relationship between technical education and the real needs of business and industry.
