They will represent the College - and Northern Ireland - in the national finals in Milton Keynes in November.
Supported by the Department for the Economy and local construction companies, the SkillBuild competitions provide an opportunity to showcase the high level of skills and the impressive talent within the workforce, as well as raising the status and standards of professional and technical education and training.
David Russell, Curriculum Area Manager for Construction in the Department of Advanced Technologies at Northern Regional College, said: “The SkillBuild competitions are a fantastic opportunity for our students to demonstrate their skills and knowledge gained in their specific curriculum skill area and see how they measure up against their peers.”
Congratulating Jamie and Gibson on qualifying for the national finals, Christine Brown, Vice Principal for Teaching and Learning, said it was a great achievement not only for the talented young apprentices but for their employers and the College.
“Jamie and Gibson’s success is testimony to their own commitment and skill, as well as the high standards of training delivered by their employers and the College’s carpentry and joinery teams as we wish them every success as their progress on their career journey.”
