The finalists for this year’s SPARKS Female Skills Competition have been revealed. This year, six students will go forward to the Grand Final on 18 April, which will take place at Stephenson College in Coalville.
The regional heats took place during February and March, with Level 2 and 3 electrical students showcasing their skills in three regional locations across England. After careful marking, often with scores separated by very narrow margins, SPARKS presents the following regional winners and finalists for this year’s competition:
- Charlotte Bobbett, Yeovil College
- Anne Greaves, Leicester College
- Mia Goodhall, St Helen’s College
- Sarah Little, Activate Learning
- Kaci Riley, Loughborough College
- Chelsie Miller, St.Helen’s College
Zoe Tanner, Managing Director at SPARKS, says, “The calibre of skill each competitor demonstrated has been incredible! They should all be immensely proud of themselves for taking part. The positive outcomes from the competition have been remarkable. Last year’s winner and runner-up went on to enter and win their regional heats in this year’s SPARKS Learner of the Year competition. This is a clear indication that initiatives like this can act as a stepping stone, empowering women to participate more confidently in mixed-gender competitions and the industry as a whole.”
