Why support your employee to compete in WorldSkills Australia?
Supporting an employee to compete in a WorldSkills Australia competition is more than backing a competition entry — it’s an investment in excellence, innovation and the future capability of your business.
By encouraging participation, your organisation demonstrates a clear commitment to raising standards in work-based learning and contributing to the growth of Australia’s skills culture. It signals to clients, partners and prospective employees that you value quality, professionalism and continuous improvement.
Benchmark your training against national standards
WorldSkills competitions are aligned to industry-endorsed training packages and reflect current, real-world skill requirements. This means they provide a powerful benchmarking tool for employers and training providers.

- Measure your apprenticeship and training programs against national standards

These are capabilities that translate directly back into the workplace, lifting performance across your team.

WorldSkills gives our apprentices a great platform to showcase their trade skills. It also builds their confidence and teaches them other great skills like time management, communication, and team work.
WorldSkills is such an amazing opportunity for our young tradespeople to push themselves. All three of our apprentices have competed through the years. We will continue to encourage future young team members to compete.
