What is WorldSkills – And Why Should You Care?
Ever heard of WorldSkills? If not, here’s the lowdown and why it should be on your radar (especially if you’re considering an automotive apprenticeship).
WorldSkills is like the Olympics for tradies. Seriously. It brings together the best young apprentices and trainees from around the world to go head-to-head in competitions that test their automotive skills, speed, and smarts across dozens of trades. From automotive tech to hairdressing to welding; if it’s hands-on, it’s probably in WorldSkills.
For young people in trades, especially anyone thinking about an auto apprenticeship, this competition is more than just a shiny medal (though, let’s be honest, that’s pretty cool too). It’s about showing the world what you’re capable of. It’s proof that you’re not just good at what you do; you’re one of the best.
And whether you win gold or not, training for WorldSkills is a game-changer. It teaches you how to push your limits, solve problems under pressure, and work with precision and pride. For anyone thinking about a career in trades or wanting to build their automotive skills, WorldSkills shows just how far your skills can take you – and trust us, it’s a lot further than you might think.
Meet the mycar Apprentices Showing the World What They’ve Got
When it comes to WorldSkills, mycar apprentices are stepping up – and standing out.
Take Edie Thurtell, for example. She recently represented New South Wales and mycar at the National WorldSkills Championships, wowing the judges with a combination of speed, accuracy, and a whole lot of heart. She didn’t just show off great technical know-how – she showed what it means to bring passion and professionalism to the competition arena. And it paid off! Edie took out the gold medal, proving she’s not only one of the best in the state, but one of the best in the nation. Standing beside her was none other than Michael Mercer, another fellow mycar apprentice who took home a bronze medal, too!
But automotive apprentices like Edie and Michael don’t get there alone. Behind them is the support of the entire mycar team. From one-on-one mentoring to giving apprentices time and resources to train for competitions, mycar apprenticeships are all about helping young talent thrive. And it’s not just about winning awards; it’s about building confidence, growing skills, and unlocking potential.
When you see mycar apprentices performing at this level, it’s a reflection of the culture inside the workshop. A culture where learning never stops, where support is everywhere, and where effort always counts. It’s a team that genuinely cares – and that makes all the difference.
