This June, talented bakers from across Australia will head to Brisbane for the WorldSkills Australia 2025 National Championships and Skills Show.

Set to be held from June 12-14, at the Brisbane Convention and Exhibition Centre, the championships is an opportunity to see some of the nations’ top apprentices, trainees and students compete in high-energy challenges that put their skills to the test.

In addition to the live competitions, there will also be interactive workshops on offer as well as the Brisbane Careers and Employment Expo with industry showcases and expert insights.

One of the baking competitors, Aaron Ciuffetelli, will be travelling from the ACT to take part in the National Championships.

Aaron said his decision to take part in WorldSkills Australia competition was partly based on gaining new skills and inspiration.

“What I’m mostly looking forward to about Nationals is the improvements that are going to come out of this – from big things to the very small stuff,” he said.

“Also, it’s a great way to meet new people and get inspiration.

“[I decided to] compete because I want to make my family proud, and also everyone that has helped me both inside and outside of baking.

“Also, competing is the only way to see how far I’m willing to go, and making sure every little detail is on point. Especially since I only have one month to train for Nationals.”
