Skills Competition Wales is the first step in national and international skills competitions for many students at Coleg Cambria.

  • Skills Competition Wales aim to raise the profile of skills in Wales, offering students, trainees and apprentices in Wales the opportunity to challenge, benchmark and raise their skills by taking part in competitions across a range of sectors and to represent the college.
  • Funded by the Welsh Government and run by a dedicated network of colleges, work-based learning providers and employer-led organisations, it consists of a series of local skills competitions, aligned to WorldSkills and the needs of the Welsh economy.
  • The competitions are free to enter and typically run between January and March each year. 

You will find more information on the competitions available, links to register and previous competition results on the Inspiring Skills Excellence in Wales website.

For more information in-house, contact competitions@cambria.ac.uk or your tutor. We look forward to hearing from you!
