Countdown to the Competition
David Hoey, CEO WorldSkills International
We are now less than four months before the Opening Ceremony of WorldSkills São Paulo 2015.
That probably means different things to everyone, for Competitors, you are anxiously awaiting your opportunity to showcase your skills on the world stage; for volunteers, you are patiently waiting to see what role you can play during the event; for sponsors, you are preparing infrastructure requests and promotional plans; but for the Competition Organizers, it is a time of excitement, stress, and determination.
There are still many things to be done surrounding the event to make it the best Competition ever; but we will make it! Media is now becoming engaged in the event. Our Conference Programme is about to be open for registration. If you have not scheduled to be in São Paulo from 11-16 August then please reconsider - it is not too late to plan to visit the greatest showcase of skills excellence in the world.
Every Competition, we get asked “is it better and bigger this time?”. The truth is that every Competition is completely different in so many ways, but each builds on the previous ones and as we learn from each event, we continually push to reach new levels.
I personally look forward to each Competition, to see the difference and improvements - but more importantly - to see the people and systems all coming together and creating an amazing environment and event to allow Members and stakeholders to showcase, benchmark, share, network and drive towards our mission and vision as a global movement. Also to see the visitors and youth see and engage in skill opportunities that could lead them to a very satisfying and rewarding career.
