Four Newcastle College Construction learners have been named top three in their trade in the Go Construct Skillbuild Regional Qualifiers.
The competition was hosted by Newcastle College on 23 June, welcoming more than 40 competitors from 12 colleges and training providers across the North East, North West and Scotland to campus.
Learners put their skills to the test againstpeers in areas including Bricklaying, Carpentry, Joinery, Plastering, Roofing, and Painting and Decorating. They were not just competing to be named one of the top three in their trade in the region, but for a spot at the national SkillBuild final, part of WorldSkills.
Four learners from Newcastle College secured top three places in their trade, and will find out in just a few weeks time if they've made it through to the national competition. Well done to all competitors!
