WorldSkills is the biggest skills competition on the planet and takes place every two years in a member country
It sets world class standards in over 40 skill categories ranging from bricklaying to restaurant services and landscape gardening to IT competitions.
WorldSkills Competitions bring together the hearts, hands and minds of young people from across the globe to compete in their skill. Over four days of tough competition, young people drawn from 50 member nations test themselves against tough international standards.
In May 2006, the UK won the bid to host the 41st WorldSkills Competition in London between 6th - 9th October, 2011. The 2011 event will be a key tool in promoting skills and up-skilling the nation.
