I could never picture myself doing something that wasn\u2019t hands on. Coupled with the fact that my dad is a welder, as well, it was a pretty natural pick. I would like to go into business with my family.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:276}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">I was approached by an instructor in our school, and he told me all about the skills competitions and the opportunities that came with them. It has made me proud to see all the skilled workers from across the country and to see what everyone is capable of. If you are a young skilled person with the opportunity to compete in skills, I absolutely think you should take it. The experience is once-in-a-lifetime and the knowledge and skills you will learn are unrivalled.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:276}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Interesting Fact\u00a0<\/span><\/b><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:276}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">In 2022, I also won provincials with my men\u2019s senior hockey team.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:276}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Skills for Success<\/span><\/b><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:276}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">All are a big part of the process, but I would say problem-solving is one of the largest skills.
