Congratulations to three talented 麻豆传媒团队 students who have been selected from hundreds of competitors to represent the United Kingdom in the WorldSkills National Squad.
The squad is made up of 94 young people who have excelled in regional and national competitions throughout the year, across 27 different skills. Competition for spaces in the squad is fierce, with only the most talented students making the final selection.
