About WorldSkills New Zealand
WorldSkills New Zealand is an independent, non-profit Charitable Trust founded in 1986, dedicated to encouraging young people to excel in vocational skills. This is achieved through exposure to competitions at a regional, national and international level. The purpose of the organisation is to:
» Encourage, recognise and reward skill excellence.
» Raise the standards of skills training in New Zealand.
» Raise the self-confidence and self-esteem of the young participants.
» Have New Zealand recognised as one of the highest skilled nations in the world.
» Promote Skills Training as a first choice career to school leavers.
WorldSkills NZ assists New Zealand young people by providing a model for excellence in industry training and by setting goals for young people to aspire to in their personal development. It gives young people confidence, assertiveness, a feeling of responsibility and the ability to seek new challenges within their work. By running WorldSkills New Zealand competitions, they can also provide New Zealand Industry Training Organisations, companies, polytechnics and other training organisations with consistent performance benchmarks measured alongside international standards. This enables them to compare training standards around the country against proven international standards. All of the competitions provide unbiased measures of competency for each participant, thereby meeting the intent of the National Qualifications framework. The marking system (based on international scales) provides consistent means of auditing the training levels that are achieved nationally. Co-ordination of WorldSkills New Zealand competitions is reliant on the national network of 700+ volunteers who give hundreds of hours of their own time. WorldSkills New Zealand has recently awarded some of their volunteers for their 20 years of support and service to their organisation.

We are very proud of Megan, and wish her all the best – maybe she will even be invited to the WorldSkills NZ National Finals!
