About SkillFRIDGE

In August 2015 Team UK had great success with Chris Baillie (Bailie Refrigeration Ltd, and South East Regional College, Belfast) gaining silver medal and runner up at the Worldskills International vocational skill competition in Sao Paulo Brazil.

His journey began with his college tutor noticing his potential and entering him into the national SkillFRIDGE competition. Chris went onto win the gold medal at The Skill Show finals in November 2013.

Chris was part of a Squad of four apprentices identified during the national SkillFRIDGE finals in 2013, from then on Chris completed a specific training program designed and delivered by his training manager, and after further national selection tests went onto represent Team UK at the WorldSkills International competition in Brazil. Chris is an ambassador for vocational skill competitions, and not only holds a unique memory of the experience, but has made his family, employer and college very proud.

WorldSkills is the largest international skills competition in the world. Held every two years, the Competition sees around 1000 young people, aged 18-25, from all over the world come together to compete for medals in more than 45 different skills including Electrical Installation, Plumbing, Welding, Web Design, Cooking and Bricklaying.
