EuroSkills is the biggest vocational education and skills excellence event in Europe. Held every two years and organised by WorldSkills Europe together with 32 Member Countries, EuroSkills brings together hundreds of young people under the age of 25 from 32 countries to compete for the chance to become the Best in Europe in their chosen skill or profession.
At EuroSkills. there are competitions and demonstrations in 40-45 skills, which are grouped into six industry sectors:
- Construction and Building Technology
- Creative Arts and Fashion
- Information and Communication Technology
- Manufacturing and Engineering Technology
- Service Industry
- Transportation and Logistics.
EuroSkills competitors represent the best of their peers and are selected to compete at EuroSkills after taking part in national competitions held in their respective countries. At EuroSkills, they must demonstrate technical abilities both individually and collectively to execute specific tasks for the skills they are studying and will perform in the future. Competitors are challenged to complete a test project or series of projects within strict timeframes over the course of three days. The projects demand complex technical knowledge and capabilities that the young people are learning and mastering through their studies and workplace training.
EuroSkills takes place over five days, beginning with an Opening Ceremony, followed by three days of skill competitions, and concluding with a Closing Ceremony where awards including Gold, Silver, Bronze, and Best of Nation medals, and the prestigious Jos de Goey Best in Europe Awardare presented.
