WorldSkills - BCSC supporting our bricklayers Blue Circle once again had the opportunity to co sponsor the Bricklaying component of the Biennial World skills competition held at Coffs Harbour TAFE this year. WorldSkills Australia (WSA) is a national, not-for-profit organisation (established since 1981) that provides young Australians aged 23 and under the opportunity to gain new skills, compete against their peers in their chosen trade and fast track their skills and career development. Their purpose is to promote and build a skills respect culture by celebrating skills excellence, inspiring young people and providing them with an opportunity to showcase their trade and skill talent. They achieve this goal through competitions held on a Regional, National and International level. All Australian apprentices, trainees and VET students have the opportunity to compete and if eligible, medallists can compete on the International stage in the Skill Olympics. WorldSkills Australia competitions operate on a two year cycle. Regional competitions flow into National competitions and winners, if eligible, will advance to the International competition to represent their country. WSA is a member of WorldSkills International, which is the global network of nearly 50 countries who participate in trade and skills competitions. Every two years the WorldSkills International community competes on the global stage to showcase and raise the standards of their country's skills. This years NSW winner was Josh Mainey from Coffs Harbour TAFE.
