WorldSkills UK is a portfolio of 55 assured skills competitions. Run annually, these competitions aim to encourage young people and adults across England, Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales to excel in their vocational skill area.
Competitions are designed to raise participation, esteem and standards in apprenticeships and vocational training. Outstanding competitors, aged 18-25, who excel in WorldSkills UK Competitions could be invited to compete for a place in the team that represents the UK at 'WorldSkills', the biennial international skills competition.
The next international WorldSkills Competition will be held in Leipzig, Germany in 2013.
Funded by the Welsh Government and run by a dedicated network of further education colleges and employer led organisations, Skills Competitions Wales consists of around 30 skills competitions.
Free to enter and run throughout February and March 2012, these competitions offer Apprentices in Wales a chance to challenge, benchmark and raise their skills.
Competitors are also encouraged to progress and take part in WorldSkills UK competitions, where last year around 5000 people took part!
Competitions are currently open.
