What is WorldSkills?

Every two years hundreds of young skilled people under the age of 23 gather together from around the world to compete and test themselves against demanding international  WorldSkills standards. 

HITO is committed to have a competitor from New Zealand at the next WorldSkills competition in London in October 2011. 

To take part in WorldSkills, you and your employer need passion, commitment and enthusiasm. It will involve training, practice, attending workshops and refining your skills so that you are up to the challenge of competing.

WorldSkills New Zealand is an independent, non-profit Charitable Trust founded in 1986, dedicated to encouraging young people to excel in vocational skills. This is achieved through exposure to competitions at a Regional, National and International level. The purpose of the organisation is to:

» Encourage, recognise and reward skill excellence.
» Raise the standards of skills training in New Zealand.
» Raise the self-confidence and self-esteem of the young participants.
» Have New Zealand recognised as one of the highest skilled nations in the world.
» Promote Skills Training as a first choice career to school leavers.
