My Skills Background <\/strong>
\nI\u2019m an instructor at SAIT and a proud Red Seal Journeyperson Machinist. I love teaching and really enjoy seeing the \u201clightbulb moment\u201d when students finally grasp the topic on which they\u2019ve been working. I\u2019ve long been connected to Skills\/Comp\u00e9tences Canada: As a competitor in Precision Machining at the Skills Canada National Competition 2016, and as a member of the Provincial Technical Committee (PTC) for Machining. <\/p>\n

Training Champions <\/strong>
\nIt was a natural progression for me to become the Trainer for our competitor at WorldSkills Shanghai 2026. I\u2019m not only on the PTC for Machining, I also coach the SAIT competitors who participate in provincial and national competitions for CNC Machining. To prepare our competitor for the WorldSkills Competition, I plan to place them in numerous mock competitions so they can become familiar with the pressures of competing. <\/p>\n

Our training will prove successful if our competitor is able to accomplish the goals he\u2019s set for himself. I want him to feel proud of what he\u2019s achieved and of his continuing growth as a skilled tradesperson. <\/p>\n

Why I Love Volunteering <\/strong>
\nAs a Trainer, I want to help our competitor achieve his goals and more. I believe he chose me to be his Trainer because we developed a good working relationship during our preparations for the Skills competitions. This is the next step. Overall, I think this training opportunity will give me a greater understanding of how I can help the manufacturing sector grow in Canada. I\u2019d like to bring home best practices from professionals around the world. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
