Abstract	The purpose of this qualitative study is to describe the experiences of professionals of color in SkillsUSA. In this study, four professionals of color shared their experiences in SkillsUSA. A focus group was conducted, along with a document analysis. The study explored the following research questions: How do professionals of color in SkillsUSA describe their work environment? How do professionals of color in SkillsUSA talk about experiences and resources that influence their desire to stay? How do SkillsUSA professionals of color perceive their interactions with other staff members? What might organizational documents reveal about SkillsUSA's efforts to create a sense of belonging for staff of color? The study identified barriers to persistence and retention related to visibility concerns, lack of mattering to others, leadership matters, and integration of DEI commitments.
