Story
Team Australia - Bakery
Growing up with both parents being chefs, Rachel Crawford has had a passion for food her entire life.
She particularly fell in love with the sweet side of things, and this spurred her to take on a Certificate III in Patisserie and a Certificate III in Baking at CIT in Canberra.
Rachel was encouraged to enter a WorldSkills regional competition by her teachers, who saw her potential, and a successful run regionally saw her score an invite to compete in the 2021 WorldSkills Australia National Championships in the Retail Baking – Bread category, where she won a gold medal.
Having moved to Queensland from Canberra since competing at Nationals, Rachel is busy working with expert John Reminis in preparation for competing in the Bakery category at the 46th WorldSkills International Competition in Shanghai this coming August. As she trains, Rachel is focused on perfecting new techniques, and increasing the speed at which she works.
Rachel’s dream is to travel and experience working internationally one day, and her involvement with WorldSkills is an excellent step towards that dream. She’s already expanded her network in the both the Australian skills sector and the food sector since embarking on her WorldSkills journey, and she’s excited to continue meeting new people as she trains.
When asked how she feels about representing Australia, Rachel says, “It gives me a great sense of accomplishment to even get this far, and is proof that hard work pays off. I am thankful for the opportunity and am looking forward to the adventure.”

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
