Story
Team Australia - Cookery
A longstanding passion for food led Sabrina Rees to pursue a career in commercial cookery.
Intrigued by the way cookery would allow her to combine her passion for food with her love of creativity, Sabrina decided to undertake a Certificate III and Certificate IV in Commercial Cookery through TAFE NSW.
Describing herself as ‘super competitive’, Sabrina made the decision to enter a WorldSkills regional competition, figuring it would be a good outlet for her competitive streak. Her impressive performance at regionals earned her an invite to compete at the 2021 WorldSkills Australia National Championships, where she earned a silver medal. With only the smallest margin between her final score and that of gold medallist Sarah Hunt, Sabrina and Sarah engaged in a ‘skill off’ to see who would continue training for a spot on the International team. Once again, the results were close – but this time with Sabrina taking out the top spot.
Now, Sabrina is working closely with expert Ianthe Smith in preparation for the 46th WorldSkills International Competition in Shanghai this coming August. Sabrina’s training schedule will see her working on a new skill every week, to ensure she’s as prepared as she possibly can be.
Sabrina’s goal for the International Competition is to win a medal, but she knows that even training for the International Competition is its own reward, with the rigorous training schedule helping her develop new skills, better time management and higher levels of productivity.
With a dream to one day work in overseas in Michelin-starred restaurants, Sabrina’s competitive streak, constant quest to better herself and willingness to keep learning should set her up for success long after the International Competition.
When asked why skills excellence matters to her, Sabrina says, “It shows commitment and dedication and that’s something I’m always striving to accomplish.”

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
