Christopher Robinson, Head of Work-Based Learning at SWC, praised the students for their commitment and achievements:
"The SkillBuild NI competition is an incredible opportunity for our students to demonstrate their technical abilities and gain recognition for their craftsmanship. The standard of work produced reflects the exceptional training provided at South West College and the dedication of both students and staff. A huge thank you to the lecturers, technicians, managers, support staff, and employers who have helped prepare our apprentices and trainees for this event."
John Moss Head of Department Sustainability Construction and Transport said:
"We are delighted to see so many of our students participating and competing at this level. Their exceptional performance is a testament to their hard work and dedication, as well as the invaluable training and support provided by both the College and their employers.
"At South West College, we recognise that these competitions do more than showcase talent, they cultivate key skills such as resilience, self-confidence, and effective communication, all of which are essential for academic success and future careers.
"Congratulations to all participants, and best wishes to those advancing to the next stage!"
