TU Dublin extends its congratulations to all of our students and apprentices competing at WorldSkills Ireland 2026, taking place this week at the RDS, Simmonscourt, Dublin.

With more than 160 students and apprentices competing across 31 National Skills competitions, WorldSkills Ireland provides an important platform for competitors to demonstrate their technical knowledge, practical expertise and creativity across a wide range of disciplines.

We are proud of the commitment and dedication demonstrated by all of our TU Dublin competitors in reaching this national stage. Their participation reflects the high standard of skills, education and training being developed across the University.

WorldSkills Ireland also provides an opportunity to highlight the diverse career pathways available through apprenticeships, Further Education and Training, and skills-based education, while connecting students with industry, employers and education providers.

We wish all TU Dublin competitors every success for the remainder of the competition and congratulate them on their achievements to date.
