WorldSkills Australia National Competition

The 2012 WorldSkills Australia National Competition will be held from Thursday 30 August 2012 until Saturday 1 September 2012 at Sydney Showgrounds, Sydney Olympic Park. The competition venue is open to the public from 9.00 am to 4.00 pm daily. Free entry!

The WorldSkills National Competition, promoted as the ‘Ultimate Skills Challenge’, will see over 500 competitors represent 29 WorldSkills Australia regions, in over 50 vocational and VET in Schools Competitions. 

This event offers much more than a skills competition. Visitors are given the opportunity to test themselves in over 25 skill areas and also obtain careers advice and discuss study options at the National Careers and Employment Expo which is run as part of the National competition.

TAFE NSW - South Western Sydney Institute competitors are amongst competitors from the nine regions; Hunter, Illawarra, Macquarie, Mid North Coast, New England, North Coast, Riverina-Murray, Sydney and Sydney West.

Two Lidcombe students: Nathan Cardwell from Cabinetmaking and Dong Nguyen from Information Technology will be Going for Gold! We wish them all the best!
