Through international competitions held every two years WSI attempts to raise awareness to the opportunties that exist in skilled professions with the intent of encourging youth and their parents and teachers to explore career opportunities in skilled trades, skilled professions and high technology.


== Overview ==
A WorldSkills competition allows people from all over the world to '''"observe the world's best young skilled people in action."''' says Tjerk (Jack) Dusseldorp, President of WorldSkills International.
WorldSkills rose out of the ruins of the [[World War II|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.<ref>{{Cite web |title=About us {{!}} WorldSkills |url=https://worldskills.org/about/ |access-date=2023-07-30 |website=worldskills.org |language=en}}</ref>

"Our goal is to host the best competition ever, while offering 200,000 visitors and millions of observers from around the world an opportunity to be a part of the event. We will not only stream live across the web, but we will also engage those present and virtual visitors (on the web) to become part of this historic event throuhg interactive and hands on experiences." Walker adds.

==History==
In 1946, given the need for skilled workers in the [[Spain]], the then Director-General of the Organization of Spanish Workers (OJE), Sr. Anthony Elola Olaso, realized it was necessary to create an effective system of professional training.

The idea of Olaso became a project in the hands of Antonio Almagro and Faustino Ramos, Director of the Center for Work, and awakened interests of agencies and companies where the most important centre for training Spanish, "Virgin of La Paloma," the idea embraced.

The first National Competition held in [[Madrid]], the Spanish capital, was a success. Attended four thousand apprentices.

But the idealizadores wanted more. They wanted to promote tournaments that salientassem competitions, showing the different levels of skill and ability of persons from other countries.

By having greater affinity, [[Latin America | Latin American countries]] were invited to create an International Competition. No effect. But [[Portugal]] if interested.

In [[1950]], with twelve young skilled in Portugal and Spain, there was the 1st World Skills, the first international competition of vocational training.

==All Tournaments==
Promoted for more than half a century, World Skills is currently held every two years. The next tournament, in its 40th edition, will occur in [[2009]], in the city of [[Calgary]], [[Canada]]. www.worldskills2009.com

WorldSkills is an international charity that organises world and national championships for vocational skills[1] and is held every two years in different parts of the world, and also hosts conferences about vocational skills.[2] WorldSkills describes itself as the global hub for skills.[3]

A web design competitor at WorldSkills Abu Dhabi 2017

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

[edit]

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.
