WorldSkills UK Competition Awards 

Each year, UK Skills hosts an Awards Ceremony for all gold winners of the national competitions cycle, WorldSkills UK.

The Award Ceremony recognises young people who have won gold medals in WorldSkills UK competitions and is a celebration of their excellence and innovation.

The students' work is showcased as much as possible - and examples are usually displayed in the foyer area of the event premises. View WorldSkills UK 2008 Award Ceremony photos.
