WorldSkills competitions are professional championships for apprentices and students in vocational skills training. They are run by the organisation WorldSkills International (WSI). Alongside its members and partners, WorldSkills aims to boost the appeal of vocational training through competitions and promote economic prosperity through education.
2022 is an exceptional year for WorldSkills since the format will be different, with competitions taking place in various countries around the world.
The talented young people taking part in WorldSkills professional championships are already winners. The first milestone along the way to becoming the world’s most skilled professional is a national competition in their own country. The triumphant winners then enter regional competitions, such as EuroSkills, AfricaSkills or AsiaSkills, or the WorldSkills world championships. The international competitions take place every two years. They are an unforgettable and inspiring experience and a key milestone on the career paths of the young participants.
More than 1,500 highly motivated young professionals battle it out for a medal in over 60 different disciplines. The WorldSkills Competitions draw on pioneering technologies such as digitalisation and green skills and reflect current developments in job profiles on the labour market. New job profiles are initially introduced as presentation professions before they are approved as official competitive disciplines. This is how the subjects of water management and Industry 4.0 have made their way into the championships in 2019 and 2022 respectively.

Modular production system MPS
Since 1991, MPS has demonstrated in national and international competitions that its concept, the stations and control systems and the corresponding functions provide exactly those features that characterise automated production throughout the world: the integration of mechanics, electronics and information technology for mechatronics.
CP Lab Industry 4.0
New Skill #48 Industry 4.0 will make its debut in 2022. As a GIP, Festo is supporting this introduction. With the individual and system workstation, Festo Didactic offers you a training system that is focused in particular on preparing candidates for the challenges that the new competition discipline Industry 4.0 will pose.
EDS Water Management
In 2022, water technology will be offered as an official skill for the second time. EDS Water Management is a modular training system which represents the core processes of a water and wastewater treatment plant in the form of a water loop from the source to the wastewater treatment plant and back again.
The nacelle training system for wind power generation
Renewable energy is a new discipline at WorldSkills Shanghai 2022. Festo Didactic presents the WEA nacelle training system. It is a complete, scaled-down version of commercial wind turbine nacelles, making it an excellent substitute for expensive real-life equipment. The machine requires little space and no major investment. However, users can carry out all the functions and thus gain hands-on experience. It offers practical training for real-life troubleshooting, operating and maintenance situations.
