Reece proudly joined industry leaders and government officials at Parliament House to launch Australia’s campaign for the 2026 WorldSkills International Competition in Shanghai.

The event highlighted the importance of supporting young tradespeople and building strong career pathways in plumbing and the broader trades.

WorldSkills is the global stage for vocational excellence and Australia’s Skillaroos, selected from the 2025 National Championships, will represent the very best of our emerging talent.

As the exclusive sponsor of the plumbing category for WorldSkills Australia, Reece supplies all products and materials for both regional and national competitions. That means young plumbers can showcase their skills using industry-leading tools and technologies.

Our support goes beyond sponsorship it’s about investing in the future of the trade and helping young professionals build confidence, capability and pride in their craft.

During the launch, we met with MPs and government officials to reinforce the importance of guiding young tradespeople through the early stages of their careers. By championing vocational education and celebrating trade excellence, we’re helping shape a future ready workforce.

As we look ahead to Shanghai 2026, Reece remains committed to supporting the industry because when we back skills, we back Australia’s future.

Good luck to Archie, Australia’s 2025 Plumbing Champion, and to all our Skillaroos!
