Taking Singapore skills to the world
WorldSkills is more than a single competition. It is a journey of skills development that gives youths opportunities to test their abilities against increasingly demanding standards.
For many competitors, that journey begins at WorldSkills Singapore, where they compete alongside the nation’s best. Those who excel may go on to WorldSkills ASEAN or the WorldSkills Competition, gaining exposure to regional practices and international benchmarks while developing the confidence, discipline and resilience needed to perform under pressure.
The highest stage is the biennial WorldSkills Competition, often described as the “Youth Olympics of Skills”. In Shanghai, about 1,400 competitors from 70 countries and regions will compete across 64 skill areas. Team Singapore comprises 34 competitors across 31 skill areas, including four from RP.
