Get involved in Australia’s biggest skills competitions
The WorldSkills Australia competitions are Australia’s biggest vocational education and excellence competitions. They see vocationally-trained participants compete against their industry peers in practical skills challenges across a range of industry areas.
TasTAFE is proud to have supported many of our students and former students to achieve WorldSkills success in the past. In 2021 the Tasmanian team won 5 medals at the national competitions and in 2018, Tasmania won the Evatt Shield for the best performing region.
Former TasTAFE Cabinetmaking apprentice, Josh Boon (pictured) represented Australia at the international competitions in Russia where he finished sixth in the world.
Regional Competitions in Tasmania
The path to success starts with regional competitions. The Tasmanian regional competitions are the first step in a WorldSkills journey that could take you to the national competitions to compete against Australia’s best trades and skills talent.
