Wimmera Campus to host World Skills competition
Posted: Tuesday 18 July 2017Federation University Australia will hold the World Skills Electro Technology Competition at the Wimmera Campus on Thursday, 3 August.
To be held in the Mallee Building, the competition will run from 8.00 am to 6.00 pm. Three judges from FedUni TAFE will adjudicate.
“Up to ten local apprentices will take part in this leading competition,” Geoff Lord, Head of the Wimmera Campus, said.
“Local employers are releasing their apprentices for the day to take part in the event.
“The competition will require electrical apprentices to install, test and commission an electrical installation to industry standards,” Mr Lord said.
“This will be the first electrical competition of its type in Horsham.
“The University is very much looking forward to hosting this prestigious event at our Wimmera Campus.”
FedUni TAFE Teacher Iaian Fricker is heading up the initiative with support from local employers.
