WorldSkills

WorldSkills competitions offer students the chance to hone their skills and compete against their peers on regional, national, and international stages in more than 60 trade skill categories.

WorldSkills is a global competition which challenges competitors across more than 60 trade skill categories to compete against their best and brightest peers for international glory.

Starting with the regional competitons, WorldSkills competitors complete specially designed tasks which test their skills and pressure management against regional peers. Those who achieve a medal in regional competitions may be eligible to compete in the National Championships held every second year - with Brisbane hosting the event in 2025.

Eligible National Champions may then be selected to represent their nation at the International Competition the following year.

To learn more about getting involved with WorldSkills, follow the link below.
