WorldSkills Australia Skillaroo Training Squad 2024
Story
WorldSkills Australia is looking for assistance to send Team Australia to the 47th WorldSkills International Competition.
Hosted by WorldSkills France, and held at EUREXPO, the 47th WorldSkills International will be held from 10 to 15 September 2024.
Team Australia will represent up to 32 different skills and trades at the event, covering a wide range from carpentry to hairdressing to automotive technology and cloud computing. Each skill is represented by a Skillaroo (competitor) and Expert (coach). Skillaroos are all aged between 20 and 23 and will be showcasing the next generation of Australian skills talent on a global stage. These talented, dedicated young people have won competitions regionally and nationally, and are currently undertaking rigorous training schedules in order to prepare for international competition.
You will be able to follow the competition through WorldSkills Australia via our social channels and www.worldskills.org.au as well as through WorldSkills International at www.worldskills.org
We thank you for your support. By competing internationally, we are able to benchmark Australian skills development against international standards, showcase Australian skills excellence, and provide our Skillaroos with unparalleled career development opportunities.
About WorldSkills International Competitions
The WorldSkills International Competition is held every two years.
With over 85 member countries, the competition brings these nations together to increase skills awareness among young people, develop international skills standards, share research results, exchange best practices, and promote the value of skills for economic growth and personal success.
The Competition is a four-day event, where competitors and experts work together to showcase their skills excellence in completing an assigned project. The projects are designed by either an external designer, Skill Competition Manager or the international expert.

WorldSkills Australia
WorldSkills Australia is a social enterprise that has a purpose to identify, demonstrate, promote, and grow the excellence of Australia’s skills development. A not-for-profit organisation, we are a united voice for skills excellence in vocational, technological, and service oriented careers in Australia. We recognise that the vocational education and training sector is central to Australia’s economic growth, productivity, and future employment outcomes. We have a long and successful history of supporting young Australians to excel in their trade or skill by encouraging them to take part in WorldSkills events and test their skills against their peers at Australia’s most prestigious skills excellence competitions. We are unashamedly about excellence and since 1981, more to 100,000 apprentices and trainees have taken part in WorldSkills Australia activities with many going on to become leaders and key influencers in industry, small business owners and educators. In addition, during the past 40 years, thousands of industry experts and education professionals have enjoyed professional and personal development by volunteering their time and resources to support, train and mentor the apprentices and trainees taking part in WorldSkills competitions regionally, nationally, and internationally. WorldSkills events also provide unequalled opportunities for knowledge exchange between educators, industry, employers, and government departments, with a focus on best practices in skills training and development. As a result, educators and trainers, who participate as a WorldSkills Volunteers typically report improved training delivery and standards and this flows onto the RTO’s and employer groups in a meaningful way. www.worldskills.org.au Here is some more information on WorldSkills Australia and our competitors in action at the 2021 National Championships in Perth https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8UAJc_0p7Kg&t=2s https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RQtyEujdkU0 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ohbsz2FPfEk&t=2s
