TORONTO — Two Ontario skilled trade students placed in the top three for their contests during the WorldSkills Special Edition 2022 Competition.
Seven Ontario competitors from six colleges were part of Team Canada and competed in the competition. The special edition was held in 15 countries across 26 different cities.
Emma Kilgannon and Malcom Matwijec received bronze medals after competing last fall.
Each competitor was invited to Humber College North Campus recently for a celebration of their efforts.
Matwijec, a student at Centennial College, competed in heavy vehicle technology in Salzburg, Austria, while Kilgannon, a student and recent graduate of Humber College, competed in pâtisserie and confectionary in Lucerne, Switzerland. Both were presented with their official WorldSkills Medal Recognition banner to hang in the institutions which they represent, indicates a release.
Other competitors included Spencer Chandu-Lall from Loyalist in mechanical engineering CAD; Daniel Kiss from Conestoga College in CNC milling; Abigail King from Fanshawe College in autobody repair; Cameron Krause from Conestoga College in bricklaying; and Akshay Vineet from Sheridan College in Cloud computing.
The Schulich Foundation was also on-hand at the celebration to announce a new scholarship involving the skilled trades. In its first year, The Schulich Builders: Scholarships for Skilled Trades will invest more than $3-million dollars to combat labour shortages and highlight the importance of skilled trades in Canada.
