SkillsCompetition Wales
In an effort to further develop skills competitions within Wales, the Welsh Assembly Government is working in partnership with colleges, sector skills councils,
work-based learning providers and employers to organise and run local skills competitions. Called SkillsCompetition Wales, many of these are run to WorldSkills UK criteria and assuming competitors do well enough, could lead through to WorldSkills UK finals.
