Extremely proud to host 22 Competitors from 19 Countries across 2 full days for Worldskills Australia in the lead up to WS Shanghai 2022.
A snap shot of the event:
- Over a month of preparation by hard working writing team including Brendan (Australia), Robin (France), Janika (Estonia), Ronald (Switzerland), Anton (Competitor Kazan, German) and Karin (New expert, Italy)
- Two briefs modified from past international test projects — Classed as ‘un-tested’ as new aspects and new marking scheme
- Excellent refresher for all experts.
- Outstanding practice for competitors.
- Full CIS marking (albeit with ‘Graded Measurement’ rather than judgement)
- GSC had twice the number of aspects required (Mistakenly developed 100% for each day). Phew!
- Allowed for compatriot marking which is not practical for an international competition.
- All experts saw full marking scheme prior. Again, not recommended for international competition.
- Offered insight into where experts disagree, but also the conversations around where ambiguity could be found in the brief.
It offered a great opportunity to also reflect on competitors preparation, international content, timings and cultural experience.
Always such a thrill to host young competitors in Skill 40, Graphic Design.
