There was success for one Donegal student last week when Christopher Kehoe was awarded a Medallion of Excellence for his skill category of welding at the WorldSkills Kazan 2019 competition.
He’s pictured above here with the WorldSkills Ireland expert in welding, and Donegal ETB staff member, Cathal Mc Gee who trained Christopher for twelve weeks in our Letterkenny Training Centre.
Christopher, who is originally from Wexford, was up against 38 competitors in his category and we couldn’t be more proud of Christopher and Cathal.
It was the 45th WorldSkills competition which saw 1,354 competitors from 63 countries and regions competing in 56 skill areas – with Ireland ranked tenth in the world for skills.
Seventeen young Irish craftspeople and apprentices flew out to compete in the major competition.
