Help Nathan compete in Abu Dhabi
Donation protected
In October 2016, Nathan's medal winning performance at the 2016 WorldSkills Australia National Competition earned him a place on the Worldskills Australia Skills Squad team among Australia’s best young skilled apprentices and trainees.
Nathan, 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.
Nathan is working tirelessly every day to reach his goal of winning the Gold Medal while representing his 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 Nathan has the best possible chance of winning a medal, he is now taking on an intensive training program and along with his mentors, category experts and a team of dedicated volunteers Nathan will train and develop his skills, his decision making abilities and build the resilience needed to compete against the world’s best.
With your help we can provide Nathan with the best possible opportunity to achieve his full potential, represent WorldSkills Australia at the International Competition in Abu Dhabi in October and come home with a medal.
ABOUT NATHAN:
Nathan followed his father’s footsteps into his trade, spending countless hours as a kid watching his dad work.
“My father has been inspirational in my trade, excelling in the same field and founding DTM Air,” he explains.
“He has proven not only to be a skilled tradesman but also a successful business man progressing the company to its successful status that it is today”.
Nathan’s job is challenging and provides constant opportunities for learning, a fact that he loves. He is so good at his job that he recently started a second apprenticeship to become dual qualified in Refrigeration and Air Conditioning and Electrical!
Nathan’s experience with WorldSkills has given him so much more than he expected. “On a personal level it has boosted my confidence and inspired me to push myself further to be more elite,” he explains.
“WorldSkills has opened up opportunities for international travel that would not have be possible at this time. But, it’s also an earned opportunity that possibly can only be offered once in your lifetime so do everything you can to make the most of the opportunity. Be prepared to commit 100% of yourself to being the best and taking it as far as you can”.
Nathan is being supported on his WorldSkills journey by Heatcraft.
