,WorldSkills UK National finals takes place in November of each year. Of the suite
of competitions taking place annually there are a few that require a team of
people to compete, though most competitions are for single entrants. The
Manufacturing Team Challenge (MTC) is one of the competitions requiring team
entrants.
The MTC requires a team of three people competing as complementary
specialists, combining skills such as project management, electronics,
programming, machining and computer aided design. Time, cost and quality are
all factors in the competition; in addition to individual talents, participants must
contribute to the team as a whole, showing self-awareness, interpersonal skills,
and thinking outside the boundaries of their own area of expertise.
