Help me get to world skills!
Donation protected
Hey everyone, my names is Chris Roberts I'm a 4th year apprentice. Working for Australian Property Improvements.
In October 2015, I competed in the WorldSkills landscape construction competition which saw me competing against other landscape apprentices from the Sydney region. I was lucky enough to score a bronze medal in this event. With second and third being separated by half a point I was chosen as the better fit to continue to the national competition. Now as a team with my friend Jordan Cahill (who one gold in regionals) we are representing Sydney region and New South Wales.
WorldSkills is, in the words of many, "an Olympics for Trades and Service."
WorldSkills Australia aims to develop and nurture the trade and industry skills of Australia’s youth. The purpose is to promote and build a skills culture by inspiring young people, celebrating skills excellence and providing them with an opportunity to showcase their trade and skill talent. This goal is achieved through competitions held at regional, national and international levels.
The national competition is run over three days, beginning Thursday 6th October and to be completed on Saturday 8th October 2016, held at Melbourne Showgrounds. The competition is this Nation’s premier showcase of youth skill and trade excellence.
Winners of this event have the opportunity to represent Australia at the next International WorldSkills event to be held in Abu Dhabi in 2017.
After spending the past few months preparing and training for the national events, Jordan and I have been asked to raise money in order to fund our trip too and from Melbourne.
All funds raised will go towards such things as travel costs, accommodation, meals, freight for competitor's toolboxes, uniforms, consumables etc.
After starting a trade in landscaping I never would have imagined that I would get the opportunity to represent Sydney at a national competition, and with your help it would mean the world in order to make this goal come true.
Any donation great or small will be greatly appreciated, and will get both myself and Jordan one step closer in reaching that gold medal in Melbourne.
For any other questions and comments about the competition, please feel free to contact me by sending me a message through my Facebook at any time.
Thankyou for your time and consideration!
