Sponsorship Opportunities for the WorldSkills UK Refrigeration and Air Conditioning Competition
The WorldSkills UK Refrigeration, Air Conditioning and Heat Pumps Competition is a prestigious national event that showcases the very best emerging talent in our industry. As part of the wider WorldSkills UK programme, the competition is dedicated to raising standards, driving innovation, and celebrating excellence in vocational education and training. It plays a vital role in developing the next generation of highly skilled professionals who will shape the future of the sector. Top competitors may have the opportunity to progress to WorldSkills International, reflecting the high calibre of talent developed through this UK-based competition.
With all Investment Partner opportunities now fully allocated, organisations can still support the competition through Value-in-Kind (VIK) sponsorship. VIK support can take many forms, including the provision of equipment, tools, learning resources, technical expertise, or monetary contributions that directly support essential costs such as accommodation, travel, and logistics for competitors.
Value-in-Kind sponsors benefit from increased brand visibility, meaningful engagement with competitors, colleges and industry representatives, and the opportunity to demonstrate a clear commitment to skills development and excellence.
By becoming a Value-in-Kind sponsor, your organisation will help ensure the competition remains world-class, accessible, and aligned with current industry standards. Your support contributes directly to a national initiative that inspires young people, promotes best practice, and strengthens the skills pipeline across the UK.
Further details on Value-in-Kind sponsorship benefits and requirements can be found below.
