   Rafa Abdul of Kitchener, a second-year student in the Computer Programmer/Analyst program at Conestoga College, will be one of only two Ontarians representing Canada at next year's 36th World Skills Competition in Seoul, Korea.
   
   Abdul earned his Team Canada berth by winning a gold medal just last week in the Information Technology - Software Application event in Edmonton, at the Skills Canada world qualifying competitions.
   
   "I wasn't really nervous," he said in an October 26 interview at the Skills Canada - Ontario headquarters, located at Conestoga College in Kitchener. "I knew that my CP/A courses would help me a lot. I was just looking forward to pitting my skills against the best students in Canada."
   
   Abdul, 20, now begins an intensive, one-year, one-to-one training program with a mentoring Information Technology expert to prepare for the Seoul event, which takes place September 6-19, 2001.
   
   He entered Conestoga in the fall of 1999 after graduation from Kitchener's Cameron Heights Collegiate Institute. "I feel absolutely fantastic," he commented.
