The international stage awaits South West TAFE carpentry apprentice Lachy King.
The talented tradesman, who is now fully qualified, will compete in the WorldSkills Shanghai in September.
He will be the only Australian carpentry apprentice at the world championships.
He is part of a 38 person team of young apprentices that will represent Australia.
Mr King said he was keen to compete.
“Now I’m really looking forward to being part of the world finals and gaining more skills from the training and competition,” he said.
He paid tribute to his employer Mick Hearn for his support and thanked his TAFE teachers for their guidance while he completed his carpentry apprenticeship last year.
