Sonya Hill

Sonya Hill competed in Mobile Robotics at WorldSkills Competition 2022 Special Edition. A Caribbean Maritime University graduate in Industrial Systems Engineering, she now works in solar energy, driven by climate change concerns.

WorldSkills was a transformative experience, she says, helping her grow both personally and professionally. The competition strengthened her time management skills and taught her to work confidently under pressure.

Now serving her second term as the WorldSkills Champions Trust representative for Americas, Sonya actively promotes Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) in Jamaica and globally as an exciting and beneficial career pathway. She also advocates for greater participation of girls and women in male-dominated fields like hers.

At WorldSkills Conference 2024, she was part of the opening panel, sitting alongside ministers, top policymakers, and industry leaders, speaking about the power of skills to help humanity attain global goals.
