Founded in 2006 and based on the same model as WorldSkills International, WorldSkills Europe is a not-for-profit membership association open to agencies or bodies in Europe which have a responsibility for promoting vocational education and training in their respective countries. WorldSkills Europe operates across Europe and is politically and denominationally neutral. WorldSkills Europe promotes vocational, technological and service oriented education and training across Europe, working with youth, educators, governments, and industries to help prepare the workforce and talent of today for the jobs of the future. We bring together youth, industries, and educators to give young people the chance to compete, experience, and learn how to become the best in their skill of choice. Together with 31 WorldSkills Europe Member countries, WorldSkills Europe organises EuroSkills – the biggest vocational education and skills excellence event in Europe. Held every two years, EuroSkills sees hundreds of young people aged 18-25 from countries across Europe come together to compete for the chance to become the Best in Europe in their chosen skill or profession. WorldSkills Europe also works in close collaboration with European sector organisations to help shape the current and future occupational standards needed by the European continent to compete in the global economy.
