I chose mechatronics because it combines hands on and theoretical applications. There are a lot of career opportunities for this trade across the world as it embodies leading edge technologies.My career goal is to be a high end robotics programmer and to work in an integration company to improve their systems.<\/p>\n
I got involved with skills competitions in my first year of college. I had the option to get ahead of the class with the benefit of participating in a competition. From that point on it was hard work and focus that brought me to where I am today.<\/p>\n
My biggest inspirations are past WorldSkills competitors Theo Willert and Avery Bird. I\u2019ve been able to train alongside them since I began competing. It\u2019s inspirational to see how well they did at the WorldSkills Competition and where they\u2019re now at in their careers.<\/p>\n
Continuous learning and digital skills are crucial. Technology advances every day and there are several different technologies available. The more knowledge and experience a team has, the smoother their training will go. Thinking is also important, as throughout the training and the competition you need the ability to solve problems quickly and think ahead.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
