The results are in! - WorldSkills Regional Competitions

In 2022, TasTAFE worked with WorldSkills Australia and Skills Tasmania to host 12 WorldSkills Regional Competitions on our campuses.

Well done to everyone who competed - it was great to see so many young people challenging themselves and striving for excellence by taking part in these skill competitions.

The WorldSkills Australia competitions are Australia’s biggest vocational education and excellence competitions. They see vocationally-trained participants challenge themselves to achieve excellence against their industry peers in practical skills challenges.

Regional competitions are the first step in a WorldSkills journey that can take participants to the national competitions to compete against Australia’s best trades and skills talent. Regional competition gold medal winners may have the opportunity to represent Tasmania at the WorldSkills Australia National Championships in Melbourne in August 2023. The team will be announced in early 2023.

A big thanks to WorldSkills Australia, Skills Tasmania, TasTAFE staff, employers and industry representatives who made the competitions possible and supported the competitors. And thank you to everyone who took part!
