WorldSkills UK has named a shortlist of 94 students and apprentices as candidates for the official team that will compete against the rest of the world at WorldSkills Lyon next year.
Young people have been selected from regional and national finals across 27 different skills to form Squad UK. They will now begin an 18-month intensive training programme to prepare them for selection for the ‘skills olympics’ in 2024.
Those showing exceptional promise will be announced as official members of Team UK in spring 2024 and will head to Lyon to compete in September of that year.
The squad announced today, full list below, will be guided through their training by a team of highly skilled trainers, industry experts, former medal winners and performance coaches to help them prepare for the pressure of competing at such a high level.
