Story
Team Australia - Refrigeration & Airconditioning
After deciding he was more suited to a trade than school, Perth local Tom Clancy fell into refrigeration and air-conditioning – and soon discovered an affinity for the trade.
Undergoing his qualification with South Metro TAFE in Carlisle, Tom has quickly made a name for himself in the industry – he was named one of Australia’s top 20 refrigeration and air-conditioning technicians under 25 at the 2020 NextGen Awards and has participated in the Kirby Scholarship Program in addition to his success with WorldSkills.
Tom is a dedicated, motivated tradesperson, who enjoys the variety of tasks working in RAC presents him with and understands that skills excellence allows him to maintain a high standard of work of which he can be proud.
That focus on skills excellence and taking pride in one’s work are traits that will serve Tom well as he trains for the 46th WorldSkills International Competition.
Selected for the Skills Squad after an impressive performance at both regional and national competitions, Tom is aiming for a top 10 spot at the International Competition, due to be held in Shanghai this coming October. Training with expert Carl Balke (who helped 2019 Skillaroo Patrick Brennan win bronze at the 45th WorldSkills International) Tom is working hard to perfect his trade. So far, says Tom, his training has helped develop his skills in time management and attention to detail, and will now focus on ‘the little details’ and being the very best he can be in the lead-up to Shanghai.
Since competing at a regional level, the WorldSkills journey has introduced Tom to contacts and opportunities he would not have had access to previously, including the opportunity to represent Australia on the international stage, which he describes as “an honour”.

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
