Help Emilia compete in Abu Dhabi

Donation protected
In October 2016, Emilia's medal winning performance at the 2016 WorldSkills Australia National Competition earned her a place on the Worldskills Australia Skills Squad team among Australia’s best young skilled apprentices and trainees.

Emilia, along with 17 of Australia’s current National Champions from their particular trade or skill has now been succesfully selected to join the elite *2017 Skillaroos forming part of Team Australia that will go on to represent Australia at the world’s largest vocational skills competition – the WorldSkills International Competition, which will take place in Abu Dhabi in October 2017.





Emilia is working tirelessly every day to reach her goal of winning the Gold Medal while representing her country in Abu Dhabi. Often referred to as the Olympic Games for Skills and Trades, the WorldSkills International Competition will see the world’s best trade young men and women, from 76 nations, compete in 50 different categories for the title of World Champion.

To ensure Emilia has the best possible chance of winning a medal, she is now taking on an intensive training program and along with her mentors, category experts and a team of dedicated volunteers Emilia will train and develop her skills, her decision making abilities and build the resilience needed to compete against the world’s best.

With your help we can provide Emilia with the best possible opportunity to achieve her full potential, represent WorldSkills Australia at the International Competition in Abu Dhabi in October and come home with a medal.


ABOUT EMILIA:
Emilia is a very creative and curious young lady with a big heart.

It was her Nonna who inspired her to follow the restaurant path as she imbued her with a passion and appreciation of food and the restaurant industry.

“The aspects I enjoy most about my job is being able to talk to customers as well as the fact that there is always something new to learn.”

Emilia has a great attitude towards her trade. “Like anything, you have good days and bad days, ups and downs. But seeing yourself grow, learn and develop your skills/trade is the best feeling.”

Her win at the National Competition in 2016 was a highlight and she looks forward to continuing to build her skills and meet new people through WorldSkills.

In the future, Emilia would love to work in a chain of hotels in the USA, Italy, the UK or France.

*2017 Skillaroos are champions chosen to represent Australia on the world’s trade and skills stage, and help to secure the future of the skilled Australian workforce.

** Australia is currently ranked 12th in the world and in 2017 we aspire to break into the top 10.
