Apprentices selected as National Final Competitors!
Thirteen competitors spanning over nine trades have been selected to go to Leeds College of Building to compete with the winners from the other UK regional competitions. They will take part in a 3 day competition from 14th - 16th September, organised by Skillbuild UK and Summit Skills.
These apprentices have got to this stage after competing in a grueling 2 day competition back in April this year at the Newtownards Campus of South Eastern Regional College.
The successful UK National medal winning apprentices may then have the opportunity to move into the UK Skills selection process for WorldSkills 2013 in Germany!
