Skills Competition Wales raises the profile of skills by giving students, trainees, and apprentices the chance to test and improve their abilities through competition. Funded by the Welsh Government and delivered by a network of colleges, work-based learning providers, and employer-led organisations, the competitions align with WorldSkills standards and support the needs of the Welsh economy.

Free to enter and running between January and March each year, competitions cover a wide range of sectors, from engineering and hospitality to digital technologies and health and social care. Competitors can develop industry-relevant skills, gain recognition for their achievements, and even progress to national and international competitions.

Each year, the competition concludes with an awards ceremony celebrating the achievements of top competitors. On this page, you will find details of available competitions, links to register, and past results.
