Help Shea vie for a medal in the industrial mechanics millwright skill category at the WorldSkills International Competition in Abu Dhabi.

Waikato

My Name is Shea Keir and I am 20 years old.

I live in Tokoroa and found my enjoyment for engineering whilst at school. I left school after year 12, did a pre-trade engineering course and started doing working experience at South Waikato Precision Engineering, working my way into an apprenticeship working with manual machines and hydraulics.

I then moved out to Carter Holt Harvey Plywood at Kinleith, where I carried on with my apprenticeship doing fitting and fabrication work, which has really broadened my ability’s as is needed to compete in the Millwright division at WorldSkills.

Competing at Abu Dhabi will allow me to show my skills and knowledge against the world. So please help me raise funds to get there.
