STUART Millar, an apprentice with Armagh-based contractor A & N Shilliday, is to represent the UK refrigeration and air conditioning industry at WorldSkills London 2011.
The 20-year-old will join 1,000 competitors from over 50 countries competing in 46 skill areas at London's ExCeL from 5-8 October 2011. WorldSkills is the world’s largest international skills competition with young people from across the globe competing to be the ‘best of the best’.
'It is a huge honour to have been selected to represent the UK at WorldSkills London 2011,' said Stuart Millar. 'I hope this opportunity will allow me to showcase how apprenticeships can lead to successful employment and career opportunities. I know the next few months will be tough as I will be in training for the event and I really hope the whole of the country gets behind Team UK for WorldSkills London 2011 like they do our sporting teams.'
