Worldskills Leipzig 2013
At WorldSkills Leipzig 2013 the best skilled workers from all over the world compete for the world title. The WorldSkills Competitions, which are held every other year, are open to Competitors up to age 22, and are hosted by a different country each time. High-performance, excitement, power, emotion and cultural exchange opportunities are guaranteed.
The exciting Competitions make you want to learn a skill – be it a traditional trade or a new discipline, whether as a cook, a mechatronics expert, or a web designer. This gigantic event is a rendezvous for international specialists in vocational education, industry and government. Their aim is to continue improving standards in vocational education. That is the goal to which they subscribe and for which they share experiences.
The WorldSkills Competition is the flagship event of WorldSkills International, a membership organisation made up of 65 countries and regions. WorldSkills International is growing rapidly and its Members now represent over 70% of the world population.
The Conference programme
For the duration of the WorldSkills Leipzig 2013, the Congress Center Leipzig (CCL) will host high-level international, national and regional conferences. During all competition days the congress visitors may attend a variety of symposia, seminars and lectures on the topic of professional education. Thus the CCL will become the meeting point for political, business, media and community experts and decision makers to discuss global developments.
The high points will be the EU meeting on vocational education and the international OECD conference on the Skills strategy. WorldSkills International will organise the WorldSkills Leaders Forum as well as the lecture series Global Skills Marketplace in the CCL.
