Inspiring technical skills excellence in Greater Manchester

Every year the GMColleges holds a Skills Competition for its students. It is one of the largest in the UK, involving over 900 students competing across 50 competitions with each of the 9 colleges hosting a different sector every year.

Run by a dedicated group of Champions from each College the Competition also serves as a feeder for the national WorldSkills competitions and has helped to highlight the work of the Colleges and the fantastic achievements of our students.

The GMColleges Skills Competition aims to raise the profile of technical skills in Greater Manchester and offers students, trainees and apprentices a chance to challenge, benchmark and raise their skills by taking part in competitions across a range of sectors.

The competitions also serve to raise the awareness of technical education, and career pathways that will impact positively not only on the individual students but on the future workforce of businesses and the economy of Greater Manchester as a whole. 

“The competition work is so worthwhile. It helps develop excellent skills and helps those students go further, faster.”
