WorldSkills Abu Dhabi 2017
Your typical country man, Brad Ingham is quiet and laidback.
Like many of his fellow competitors, he moved out of his hometown to pursue his trade at a young age.
“I always had a passion for pulling things apart and working with my hands so a trade was something I was always going to do,” he says.
Travelling and meeting new people is a favourite hobby of Brad’s and the WorldSkills experience has given him more confidence and encouraged him to put himself out there.
His advice for anyone wanting pursue a skill or trade is this: “Choose a trade that you enjoy and can see yourself doing for many years and jump at any opportunity to better your skills and showcase your talents.”
