Young cabling professionals compete at WorldSkills

The profession we know and love, cabling, is part of the annual WorldSkills Competition. Described by WikiPedia as a competition for youth from 17 to 22 years of age to demonstrate their excellence in skilled professions, WorldSkills is held every two years in a member country. The 2009 competition took place in Calgary, Canada and this year's event will be held in London in October.

WorldSkillsTV has posted a few cabling-specific videos from Calgary on YouTube. In the 90-second video embedded here, competitor Rounnachai Ampaipoka of Thailand reflects on his first day of participation in the event.



In a separate video from 2009, which you can see here, Fluke Networks' David Coffin discusses his company's participation as a sponsor of the 2009 competition.
