Cardiff and Vale College Principal Sharon James Evans said:
“We wish the very best of luck to the 12 of our learners who will be taking part in the WorldSkills UK National Finals this week. We are all extremely proud of you.
“At Cardiff and Vale College we passionately believe in the importance of skills competitions such as WorldSkills UK and the role they play in inspiring people to develop high level skills. Skills are vital for businesses of all sectors and sizes, and for economies across the world. High level skills make businesses better, more capable and efficient, attracting customers and contributing to more prosperous communities and economies.
“That is why WorldSkills UK is so important. It brings these messages together and highlights them on a UK-wide scale, showing employers and governments that investing in skills is investing in the future.”
