18.Not many were surprised when Dustin Sherrard was chosen,among a team of five,to represent Ontario at WorldSkills Competition in Leipzig,Germany this year.
The event,on ce known as the Skill Olympics,symbolizes the top of excellence in professional training where young skilled people from around the world compete in the skills of their various jobs measured against demanding international standard,which is hard to reach.
The 21-year-old,who grew up in Englehart,Ont,didn't get a medal but the experience did wonders for his confidence.Sherrard had passion for carpentry(木工) and showed promise at a very young age."I first got interested in woodmaking when I was in Grade 10,"he says."I had taken wood shop before but it never became a hobby of mine until my school started to gethardwood into the shop classes."
"I realized how much fun woodworking was and took all the wood-shop classes I could andstarted spending time in the shop after school,"he says."I got a summer job working with myuncle and used most of the money I made to buy woodworking tools and quickly turned mydad's little shop into my own woodworking shop."His skills and knowledge were sharpened and tested in the woodworking program.
All this went a long way in preparing him for full-time employment and taught him what to expect when he started working.
"The biggest challenge to secure a good job with my training and skill set would be to keep up with all the different products and new designs,"he says."I have only been in the industry for a few years but even my boss,who has been doing this for many years,is still leaming new things all the time."
Sherrard's passion for his skill has brought him this far but his thirst for leaming keeps pushing him further.He's already planning to go back to school to study engineering.
