National Skills Competition 2025

The National Skills Competition is one of South Africa’s most important platforms for showcasing and strengthening technical and vocational talent. Led by the Sasol Foundation in partnership with Kagiso Trust, the Department of Basic Education, and the Department of Higher Education and Training, the competition brings together learners, teachers, and TVET students from across all nine provinces to compete in real-world, industry-based challenges across 13 trade categories.

Modena is proud to sponsor and host the Computer-Aided Design (CAD) and Engineering Graphics and Design (EGD) divisions of the competition. These categories highlight the power of digital design tools to prepare young South Africans for careers in engineering, construction, and manufacturing.

By testing skills in environments that mirror industry practice, the competition helps

bridge the gap between education and the workplace. Participants not only demonstrate their technical ability but also build confidence, problem-solving skills and resilience, all essential for thriving in today’s rapidly changing world.

We wish all participants the very best as they showcase their talent and take the next step in their skills development journey.

At Modena, we’re committed to equipping the next generation with real-world skills, so it’s incredibly rewarding to receive such heartfelt feedback. In October 2024, we partnered with the Sasol Foundation and Kagiso Trust to sponsor training, facilities, and prizes for a student skills competition.
