The 17 to 22 year old competitors had already won the national competitions in their home countries. They are the best of the best! The national competitions are tough. I know this because I was involved with creating and judging an electronics troubleshooting event when the Skills Canada event was in Red Deer back in 1997.
The young men and women who came to show the best of their skills and talents in areas such as CNC machining, Polymechanics (Millwright work), Industrial Automation, Manufacturing, Mechatronics, Welding, Electrical Installation and many more were absolutely first rate.

The future of industrial skills around the world is in great hands if this year's competitors were representative of the next generation.
The challenge for industry will be to employ these amazing new artisans in a very open and progressive work culture and in a way that lets them express their full passion for their respective crafts.
