RMIT students recognised at international vocational education competition

Two RMIT students have been recognised for their expertise at the WorldSkills International Competition in France.

Disha Anchan and Randy Gunawan both won a Medallion For Excellence in the Industry 4.0 competition, demonstrating how digital technologies can modernise systems and processes. 

The medallion was awarded to competitors who obtained a high level of excellence, with 700 or more points.

"It’s been an incredible experience competing - and it was an honor to represent RMIT and Australia on the world stage," Gunawan said.

"Meeting other competitors who represent the best of their countries made the competition intense but also incredibly rewarding.  

"Winning a Medallion of Excellence feels like all the hard work and preparation we put in has finally paid off."

Randy Gunawan won a Medallion For Excellence in the Industry 4.0 competition at WorldSkills Lyon. Randy Gunawan won a Medallion For Excellence in the Industry 4.0 competition at WorldSkills Lyon.

Four RMIT students were selected to join the Australian Skillaroos team, after an intensive two-year process. They competed in Lyon alongside more than 1,500 competitors from 86 countries. 

RMIT Deputy Vice-Chancellor Vocational Education and Vice-President Mish Eastman said it was great recognition for the competitors – and the local vocational education system. 

 "It just shows how RMIT supports students and staff to succeed on the international stage, by creating an environment that celebrates skills excellence, particularly in the future technologies space," she said. 

"Along with our four outstanding students, we had two of our vocational education experts – Anu Mehta and Vettrivel Chinnadurai – who put in the hard yards by providing expertise and support to our competitors before and during the competition."
