Today, WorldSkills Australia announced the 39 members of Team Australia who will represent the country at the WorldSkills International Competition in Shanghai this September; a huge global event featuring 1,400 competitors from 70 countries.
The competitors (known as the “Skillaroos") are some of Australia’s best young apprentices and trainees, having earned their place through a gruelling series of regional and national competitions. They compete in trades and skills ranging from baking and carpentry to landscaping and cloud computing.
Given the human interest element and ongoing skills shortages narrative, I thought this could be of interest.
More details and team list in thee attached release, but please let me know if you'd like more info/images of any particular Skillaroos.
Many thanks,
Pat
