Zara Morgan, a previous Skills Competition Wales competitor said:
“I started competing in 2018 when my tutors in college introduced and encouraged me to enter the Welsh Skills Competition, and it was the best decision I made.
My biggest challenge has always been my lack of self-confidence and belief in myself. Competing for the past two years has developed my confidence to reach my personal goals.
My advice would be just to go for it! So, if you are like me, then Skills Competition Wales is the right place for you.
Competing has not only helped me grow as a beauty therapist but also as a person; it has given me the experience and knowledge I needed to take the step and open my own business.”
