The aims of the competitions include demonstrating the advantages of learning a vocational skill,[4] and encouraging 'parity of esteem' between vocational and academic qualifications.[5]

The city of Kazan, Russia, hosted the 45th WorldSkills Competition in 2019. At the previous event, WorldSkills Abu Dhabi 2017, there were competitions in 51 skills areas with roughly 1,300 young people taking part.[6]

WorldSkills International, formerly known as the International Vocational Training Organization (IVTO), was founded in the 1940s with the goal of creating new employment opportunities for young people in some of the economies that were devastated by the Second World War.[7][8][9] It operates in 85 countries and regions.[10]

Overview

WorldSkills rose out of the ruins of the Second World War, which devastated the economies of Europe and created a huge skills shortage that threatened a new economic depression. Some took this challenge as an opportunity to introduce young people to the world of vocational skills. Francisco Albert Vidal was charged with creating a skills contest for the youth of Spain and Portugal. Madrid 1950 was a modest event by today’s standards but an international movement was born. The competition grew rapidly. Young participants from Germany, Great Britain, France, Morocco, and Switzerland responded to the invitation, with two contestants making an unannounced journey to Spain at their own cost. The competition ventured overseas for the first time, relocating to Brussels, Belgium. This marked the beginning of the global expansion of the WorldSkills movement. By the late 1960s, competitions had been hosted in Germany, Great Britain, Ireland, the Netherlands, and Switzerland. The next significant milestone came with Tokyo hosting the event in 1970. By the end of the 1980s, Atlanta in the USA, Sydney in Australia, Seoul in Korea, and Chinese Taipei had all welcomed what was becoming the world’s greatest international vocational skills event.[11]

Governed by an international Board of Directors and administered by the WorldSkills Secretariat, WSI's mission is "To raise the profile and recognition of skilled people, and show how important skills are in achieving economic growth and personal success".[3]

Among its main objectives are:

  • Promote the exchange between young professionals from various regions of the world.
  • Exchange of skills, experience and technological innovations.
  • Raise the understanding in governments, education and industry to the importance of skills training.
  • Raise the awareness of youth and those who influence youth to the opportunities available in skilled professions.

Medals are awarded during the competition: gold, silver and bronze. Medallions for Excellence are also awarded to those Competitors who achieve above-average scores in their contest areas.

Competitions

The WorldSkills Competition is currently held every two years.
