Through a program of competitions aligned to the National Training Packages, WorldSkills Australia works to ensure that today’s young people have the skills and abilities to compete within a rapidly changing global market place.
WorldSkills Australia competitions operate on a two year cycle. Regional competitions flow into National competitions and winners, if eligible, will advance to the International Competition to represent their country.
