- Regional champion from Blacktown tests auto skills on national stage
Callahan Smith
TAFE NSW Mount Druitt student, and Blacktown local, Callahan Smith is preparing to put his skills to the test when he competes at the WorldSkills Australia 2025 National Championships in Brisbane next month.
Callahan is one of four talented students from TAFE NSW Mount Druitt who qualified for the national competition, which brings together the best emerging trades and skills talent from across the country.
WorldSkills competitions celebrate excellence in vocational education and training through regional, national, and international events. National winners will be in the running to represent Australia as part of the Skillaroos team at the WorldSkills International Competition next year.
Hundreds of vocational students will compete in Brisbane over three days, all aiming for gold and the opportunity to showcase their skills on the global stage in Shanghai in September 2026.
“TAFE NSW provides world-class, hands-on training and gives students the skills and confidence to thrive in their careers. Importantly, these students represent not only their community, but the future of Australia’s workforce.”
The WorldSkills Australia 2025 National Championships will be held at the Brisbane Convention and Exhibition Centre from 12-14 June. There are two students from TAFE NSW Mt Druitt campus who are competing in the National WorldSkills Championships.
