Congratulations on winning

a World Skills award, George!

Winning a World Skills award is a tremendous accomplishment and definitely deserves congratulations. World Skills is a global organization that promotes excellence in vocational skills and trades. Competitors from all over the world participate in the World Skills competition to showcase their abilities in various fields such as plumbing, carpentry, cooking, and more. Winning a World Skills award means that the competitor has demonstrated exceptional skills and knowledge in their area of expertise. It takes years of hard work, dedication, and practice to achieve such a prestigious award, so congratulations to anyone who has won one!

Congratulations were due to George Schembri, who started in 2018 as our apprentice. It was a wonderful achievement for him to win a Bronze at the World Skills for jewellery in 2022 . It is a testament to his hard work and dedication to the craft. Winning an award at such a prestigious competition is no small feat, and it shows that George has exceptional skills and talent.

It is also a proud moment for the studio, as George's success reflects positively on the quality of training that he has received. It is a reminder that investing in young talent can pay off and lead to great success. We hope that this achievement will inspire other apprentices to work hard and pursue their dreams with passion and dedication.

George is the third craftsman from B&M Bijoux to achieve the heady heights of winning in the competition

George is the third craftsman from B&M Bijoux to win in the competition. Andy trained George as an apprentice and also won Bronze in 2003. Alan, our co-founder (now retired) won Bronze in 1960.

B&M Bijoux is known for its high-quality and unique jewellery designs that cater to a wide range of preferences and styles. The fact that three of its craftsmen have won in the competition is a reflection of the company's commitment to excellence and innovation. It's also a testament to the talent and creativity of its employees.

Winning in a competition not only brings recognition and prestige to the individual and the company, but it also serves as an inspiration to others. It shows that hard work, perseverance, and dedication can pay off in achieving one's goals and dreams.

Why is there a lack of awareness for the WorldSkills competition?

It is hard for participants not to feel sad about the lack of awareness for the WorldSkills competition. This global event is dedicated to showcasing the incredible talents and skills of young professionals in various trades, from cooking to construction and everything in between. Unfortunately, not many people seem to be aware of this competition and the opportunities it provides for young people to develop their skills and pursue fulfilling careers.

However, there are ways to raise awareness and support. One way is to spread the word through social media and other online platforms. Another way is to encourage schools and educational institutions to promote the competition to their students. Additionally, supporting and participating in local competitions and events can help generate interest and excitement for the larger WorldSkills competition.

By working together, we can help raise awareness for the WorldSkills competition and support the next generation of skilled professionals. Let's spread the word and celebrate the amazing skills and talents of young people around the world!
