After a years’ worth of competition, the finalists came together at Cardiff and Vale College last week to undertake their final 6 tasks under the watchful eyes of our team of volunteer judges.
They had already been nominated, taken an online quiz, taken part in a one-day practical national qualifier and then underwent training days and employer visits with it culminating in a two day practical live final for World Skills UK. From over 500 to the top 6 in each stream your winners are…
