With just 86 days until the opening of the world’s largest skills competition taking place Abu Dhabi WorldSkills Australia has selected an elite team of 43 people including 18 competitors, mentors and officials who will represent Australia at the 44th WorldSkills International competition.
The 18 young men and women from across Australia, known as the Skillaroos, who will compete against the best apprentices and trainees from the 77 WorldSkills member countries are all dreaming of becoming the World Champion in their chosen trade or skill area. The Skillaroos are all aged 19 to 22, and represent a wide range of trades and skills, with the majority aligning with the National Skills Needs list. These include bricklaying, patisserie and confectionery, heavy vehicle mechanics, hairdressing, landscape gardening, refrigeration and air-conditioning, carpentry, wall and floor tiling.

Worldskills澳大利亚首席执行官Brett Judd祝贺Skillaroos和澳大利亚队的选择。他说，在去年在墨尔本举行的艰苦的训练制度和他们的成功之后，他们被选为艰苦的训练和他们的成功。
“This team has consistently shown the dedication, commitment and excellence we require of Team Australia when they represent our nation against the rest of the world,” said Mr Judd.
“我为他们的决心表示赞赏，并祝贺他们的选择。但是，如果没有他们的技能导师的奉献和支持，他们的成功是不可能的。之所以选择Worldsskills专家，是因为它们代表了其行业或技能类别中最好的。他们还热衷于帮助发展行业和年轻竞争对手。”
Mr Judd said WorldSkills Australia was nurturing and developing the skills of young Australians, and highlighting the opportunities available to those pursuing a trade or skill.
“These young people are excelling in their chosen fields and many have already been rewarded with international experience and opportunities,” he said. “Their trades are really taking them places.”
