Hayden explained that his preparation for the Global Skills Challenge was made easier with the support of his community and that his employers have been accommodating, agreeing to give him weekends off in order to practise his skills. “This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity and I’m grateful to even be considered to represent Australia,” he said.

Talking about his international preparation Hayden explains, “I have trained on smaller models to develop my geometric and hand skills and have also visited Guangzhou in China to train on an international project where I learned complex geometrical skills.

“To be chosen to represent Australia at the WorldSkills International Championships is an absolute honour. Not only will I be able to show off my newfound carpentry skills and knowledge, but I’ll also see what the other competitors have to offer,” he continued.
