Jamaica will be sending a team of contestants to take part in this year’s World Skills International Competition. Why am I posting about a world skills competition? Well for starters this will be the first year Jamaica will be entering and we will competing against countries like Australia, Canada, France and Singapore. The Bi-annual competition will be taking place this November in Shizuoka Japan and is aimed at enhancing vocational, understanding new technologies, sharing of best practices, as well as helping to shape current and future world policies on vocational skills.
Jamaica’s team is managed by the Heart Trust National Training Agency of Jamaica and we will be taking part in four categories Software Application, Web Design, Beauty Service and Cooking. Sandra Glasgow, Chairman of the Board of HEART Trust/NTA is even featured in a video on the official World Skills Competition website. I’ll be following up on this competition later this year, I wonder if Jamaica will walk away with any prizes in this our first year, or will we have to wait for future competitions in Canada and/or England?
I wish them all the best in the Skills Competition. I hope it will benefit the country overall.
Neat new look.

I am glad you like the new look
I was actually looking for a story about them online and couldn’t find any info. I heard they came 3rd…did you hear that as well?
So what was I hearing on the readio the other day???? Unless I was hearing doubles….
thanks for the clarification and i hope you are reading my blog? do you want us to blogroll each other?
ok great…what made you so interested in Japan? just curious.
ok cool…during the election season I have to moderate all comments…you should read the things people write me!
maybe it was our internal competition to choose the participants or an unrelated but similar event
yea we sure can, I’ll add you now
I’m reading through now
it’s a long story, but growing up all my interests just seemed to have a connection to Japan – history, technology, cars, anime, science etc. So I started to learn more and I have been interested ever since.
from the little experience I have here I can just imagine
The competition is yet to start
it will be in November this year
