“WorldSkills, a real personal challenge! »

Emy Seebert, plastering candidate for the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region

What does the Worldskills competition mean to you?

For me, competition is a real challenge! I'm a person who doesn't like stress, so at first I didn't imagine doing it, but my trainers pushed me, and now that I've started I'm going to give the best of myself.

What is your objective ?

My goal for the competition is to do my best, to overcome the difficulties one after the other. For example, the subject that we will have to carry out is not something that we do at work on a daily basis.

Do you have a professional role model?

I don't particularly have a professional role model, after all the person who motivates me is my boss. I want to do as well or better than him and make him proud of the skills he taught me!
