The World Skills Competition (WSC) is held every 2 years and recognized as the world’s biggest vocational education training and skills excellence event that is a true reflection of global industry. The competitors are the best of their peers, and are chosen from skill competitions in World Skills Member countries and regions. They are all under 23 years old (except for 4 skills with the age limit of 25). They showcase technical abilities both individually and by team to perform specific tasks that they study and/ or perform in their working place.

One of the main inheritances of the WSC is to give visibility and vitality to professional education, as one of true tools of socio-economic transformation.
