He returned the following year to earn bronze nationally, and in 2026 at nationals in Toronto, his hard work paid off as he brought home the national gold medal as a member of Team Alberta! 🥇

In this episode, Emanuel shares what fueled his perseverance, the lessons he learned through competition, and what it takes to keep coming back stronger every year. 🙌

🌎 Training Around the World on the Road to WorldSkills Shanghai 2026! 🔧

Alberta’s Team Canada competitor in Plumbing from Lethbridge Polytechnic, Kylar Bloomberg, is taking his training to the world stage! 🌍 As we get closer to the 48th WorldSkills Competition in Shanghai this September, Kylar has been gaining valuable international experience through training opportunities in both the United Kingdom and China.

🇬🇧 Birmingham, United Kingdom
Kylar took part in the Training Workshop at the 14th Triennial World Plumbing Conference (WPC2026) in Birmingham, putting his skills to the test alongside top talent from around the world.

🇨🇳 Shandong, China
Kylar also trained at the Chinese Training Base for Plumbing and Heating for the 48th WorldSkills Competition at Shandong Industrial Technician College. The facility provides an incredible environment for WorldSkills training, technical research and development, and elite talent development.

Kylar has been working hard toward the world stage alongside his trainer, Justin Fisher, and WorldSkills Canada Expert Jeremy Bridge. Having the opportunity to train around the globe is an incredible part of the WorldSkills journey—and one that will help Kylar continue to build his skills, confidence and experience as he prepares to represent Canada. 🇨🇦

A huge thank you to our hosts at WorldSkills UK and WorldSkills China for creating these incredible opportunities for competitors! Experiences like these are invaluable, and we can’t wait to see how Kylar brings everything he’s learned back to the competition floor. 🔥
