        Competitors have visited their respective skill competition areas, as it is customary to do before the start of every WorldSkills competition. Known as ‘familiarization day’, the Competitors have set their work stations so everything is ready to display the best of their skills between 23-26 August. They had a chance to get experts’ advice and test the equipment and materials.
        “The objective is to ensure Competitors are familiar with all material supplies, how the material operates and that they know the safety features. In some cases they have done a random selection of their workstation to ensure that they are comfortable with the processes, they are ready when they come in on the first day of the Competition. It is extremely important for competitors,” said Jane Stokie, Director of Skills Competitions of WorldSkills.
