Test your skills against the best!
Are you keen to develop your skills and test yourself against others in your field? Competing in a WorldSkills Australia Regional Competition can open up a whole new world of opportunities.
In 2024, TasTAFE is hosting a number of regional competitions on our campuses and you can get involved!
WorldSkills Australia competitions are Australia’s biggest vocational education and excellence competitions. Every two years, more than 500 regional competitions are held in 34 regions across Australia. They see vocationally-trained participants challenge themselves to achieve excellence against their peers in practical skills challenges designed by industry experts.
Winning a regional competition could take you to the national competitions to compete against Australia’s best trades and skills talent. In 2023, Team Tasmania won five silver medals at the WorldSkills Australia National Championships.
