| WorldSkills NZ was founded in 1986 and, as a member of WorldSkills International, is one of 52 countries who take part in the international skills competition where young people from across the globe compete to become the best of the best in their chosen skill. Run on a 2 year cycle, many of NZ's best young skilled trades people compete at the NZ Nationals to find a team to compete at the International Competitions run the following year. The most recent New Zealand finals were held in Christchurch in July 2012. A team has been selected to represent NZ at the WorldSkills Leipzig Finals, 2 to 7 July 2013. | ||
