Shanghai masters to display power of vocational skills in Kazan

With the WorldSkills Kazan 2019 competition approaching, Shanghai contestants are in full preparation to put their exceptional skills to the test on a global stage. This competition is the world championships of vocational skills and aims to both popularize vocational skills and bring social parity between them and academic skills.

For the upcoming 45th WorldSkills Competition, which will bring together competitors from 63 countries and regions, China will have 63 contestants for all the 56 skills. Among them, there will be 10 from Shanghai, vying for championships in autobody repair, print media technology, restaurant service, web technologies, floristry, freight forwarding, health and social care, cyber security, and hotel reception, says a press briefing of the Shanghai municipal government.

Cyber security is a first at this year's WorldSkills. “Internet hacking, which many Internet developers might not think about, is what we do. Internet security professionals’ job is to strengthen the Internet, to prevent any hacking,” said one contestant from Shanghai.

While Russia will hold this year’s competition, Shanghai is gearing up to host the 46th WorldSkills Competition in 2021. As part of the city’s commitment, the WorldSkills Museum will be built on the bank of the Huangpu River, sharing the story of the organization, the competitions, industry, and vocational education and training.
