BRATTLEBORO, Vt. — Holstein Association USA is delighted to announce the winners of the 2021 Virtual Interview Contest. The program is designed to prepare youth for real world opportunities and give them the chance to sharpen their resume writing and interview skills in a virtual setting.

In the senior division, youth will be given cash prizes of $500 for first place, $250 for second place, and $100 for third place. Following are the results from each division.
