%X This article focuses on the role of training managers (TMs) in UK participation
in WorldSkills Competitions (WSC). The TM role is outlined, according
to the perceptions of the TMs, and there is analysis of the benefits to them of participation,
as well as the barriers they face, and the benefits and barriers available
to participating further education colleges and employers. The article is based on
analysis of semi-structured interviews with almost the full cohort of UK TMs preparing
competitors for WorldSkills Brazil 2015, and concludes with reflections on
the vision and purposes of UK WorldSkills participation.
