WorldSkills Europe is an association which promotes excellence in the field of skills and competence development. It focuses on organizing and developing skills competitions which act as a tool for further developing skills structures in Europe.
|
We raise awareness of the importance of professional excellence and high quality vocational education and training for Europe. We attempt to realize this by various means. The most important of these means is EuroSkills.
|
EuroSkills is a biennial international skills competition organized in one of the WorldSkills Europe member states. EuroSkills is a spectacular promotion of the professions, centred on the professional performance of hundreds of talents, selected through competitions held in their countries. During the EuroSkills competition our members, international industry partners, governmental agencies and educational institutions come together to promote vocational education and training excellence in Europe. Together, we encourage world class standards of skills and competences in Europe. This partnership between students, governmental and private institutions and civil society organisations is unique within Europe.
|
To participate in EuroSkills is to participate in a total experience. The EuroSkills event is structured according to the concept of seeing, doing and informing. The exciting vocational competitions are a source of inspiration and offer a clear overview of the state of affairs within the various skills areas.
