Regional Competition
The regional competition is the first level of the WorldSkills competition cycle. Competitions are held every two years in 30 regions across Australia. When competitors participate they are representing their local community while gaining the opportunity to excel in their career.
Regional competitions are held over one or two days and consist of projects to be completed within a set time frame. A selection of place getters then advance to the National Competition the following year.
Regional competitions are an ideal way to measure the standards of skills across Australia and to view the status of vocational education and training in specific areas. More and more young Australians are competing to stand out from a crowd and maximise their employment, lifestyle, training and higher education options.

School Student Competition
VETiS If you are a school student you can also participate in the WorldSkills Competitions and even make it to the national level!
Students studying their first year of a VET subject can enter the WorldSkills Australia VET in Schools (VETiS) Competition to represent their school, community and state.
The first level of VETiS Competitions can be held within schools and colleges. Competition projects are aligned with Certificate I/II in relevant National Training Packages and can be coordinated by teachers and completed within class as part of an assessment.
The top students from the in-school competition may then continue the cycle at a regional level and possibly the national level. Once they have left school some students continue the WorldSkills competitions as an apprentice or trainee and can receive prestigious scholarships or compete for Australia at the WorldSkills International Competition.
Participating in competitions aligned with their relevant VET syllabus means competitors develop competencies and benchmarks that will boost their career pathway after school. The WorldSkills VETiS Competitions also benefits the school, local communities and industries amidst the national skills shortage.

I competed a few years ago (in Brisbane) and was successful coming 2nd, went on to compete in Australia and also coming 2nd. I could say was 2nd in Australia for a year! (unfortunally that year they excluded Floristry in the international competion so the winner didn't get to go overseas.
