As we enter the exciting new year, Skills Competitions Wales is already underway with an engaging series of events taking place throughout Wales. From January 2025, learners from across Wales are participating in a range of competitions designed to showcase the high standards of skills being cultivated across the country. These competitions will culminate in the awards ceremony on 13th March 2025, where the best of the best will be celebrated for their dedication, talent, and hard work.
We are grateful to the generous sponsors of the Skills Competitions Wales 2025 Awards, whose support plays a crucial role in recognising the achievements of our competitors, training providers, and employers. Their involvement ensures that learners are celebrated for their exceptional skills, while helping Wales continue to lead the way in skills development.
We would like to acknowledge the following sponsors for their invaluable contribution:

Thanks to the support of these sponsors, the awards ceremony will be a fitting celebration of the hard work and dedication of our learners. Their commitment to excellence is integral to making the Skills Competitions Wales Awards a standout event, and their contribution underscores the importance of skills development in shaping Wales' future workforce.
As we prepare to celebrate the achievements of our learners in March 2025, we also look ahead with anticipation to future milestones, including the WorldSkills UK competitions in November 2025. These awards are not only about recognising the top performers today but also about providing Welsh learners with opportunities to compete on the world stage, from WorldSkills in Shanghai 2026 to other global competitions in the years to come.
We extend our thanks to all of our sponsors for their continued support, and to everyone who is helping shape the future of skills in Wales.
