WorldSkills USA Team at Young Skilled Workers Competition

SkillsUSA is sending eight skilled competitors to Lyon, France from September 10 through 15 to compete in seven events during the 47th biennial WorldSkills Competition. The event showcases trade skills ranging from construction and building technology to creative arts and fashion, information and communication technology, manufacturing and engineering, social and personal services, and transportation and logistics. The 2024 WorldSkills USA team members range in age from 19 to 22 – each a highly skilled young talent who has shown dedication to perfecting their trade skills over the past year as they prepare to compete against others from around the globe.

SkillsUSA has been the official representative of the United States in the WorldSkills Competition since 1973 with a mission to empower students to become skilled professionals, career-ready leaders and responsible community members. “We’re thrilled the 2024 WorldSkills USA team has the chance to represent the U.S. while excelling at a skill they love,” said SkillsUSA Championships Director Brandon Hudson. Representing the United States at the WorldSkills competition for Welding is Wyatt Hansen, age 20, Altonah, UT (Expert: Ray Connolly) and for CNC Milling Kaden Stanczyk, age 20, Custer, WI (Expert: Alden “JR” Colvin). SkillsUSA works year-round to instill career readiness skills in over 400,000 students per year so they can excel in the career of their choice.
