Wanted: Skills Stars to Represent the UK in 2011

Do you want to compete against the best in the country? Why not enter a WorldSkills UK Competition today?

WorldSkills UK is a set of dynamic skills competitions for both young people and adults. Designed by industry experts and taking place annually, there are over 70 skills competitions available ranging from Construction, Floristry, Landscape Gardening and Hospitality through to Fashion, IT, Hair & Beauty, Engineering and the Arts.

Competitions are held regionally and nationally across the UK. Some WorldSkills UK Competitions can lead to WorldSkills, where outstanding national finalists compete against the best in the world in their skill.

In 2008, over 3,500 young people and adults entered a WorldSkills UK Competition. In 2009 that figure will grow. If you are studying, or know of a talented, ambitious student who would jump at the chance to compete, find out more about the entry criteria and competitions for individual skills by visiting www.worldskillsuk.org.
