A number of Capital City College Group (CCCG) students are currently registering for this year’s WorldSkills competition. The competition inspires competitors to excel in their chosen skill areas, helping them progress into their chosen profession.
Currently, around 30 CCCG students from a wide range of courses have entered in skills categories relating to Health and Social Care, Laboratory Technician, IT Support Technician and Mechanical Engineering.
Registration for the WorldSkills UK competition is open until 28 March, and the National Qualifiers will take place between April and June 2024. Those who make it through the National Qualifying stage go through to the National Finals in November 2024. Last year, CANDI student Dante Senior brought home a bronze medal in the Laboratory Technician challenge at the National Finals.
Participation in the WorldSkills competition offers students the opportunity to broaden their horizons and demonstrate their skills in a competitive environment. It is an enriching and exciting process, giving students the chance to use and expand their subject knowledge.
