10 WorldSkills Leaders Forum 2003Slide 10 Some youth perspectives to help stimulate the debate “When I told my teachers I wanted to leave school to pursue a trade they were shocked. In fact the principal sat me down and asked me to reconsider.” “I didn’t actually nominate myself for the local competition, one of my college teachers suggested I enter. In hindsight I’m shocked I nearly missed out on this incredible phase of my life.”

11 WorldSkills Leaders Forum 2003Slide 11 “Peer learning is so incredibly valuable. Essentially a trade is about learning from the experiences of others so I’m soaking up as much information as I can. I’m like a human sponge.” “I think its vital for an industry to invest in its own future and I certainly intend to do my part by encouraging other young people to develop top class skills.”

12 WorldSkills Leaders Forum 2003Slide 12 “I want to win. I want to bring home a gold medal. It’s like I say to other young apprentices, you should never be afraid to pursue your dreams. As long as your motivation comes from the heart you can’t go wrong.”
