WorldSkills Shanghai 2022 dates announced!
WorldSkills Shanghai 2022 will
Take place 12-17 October 2022
The
dates for the 46th WorldSkills Competition, previously scheduled for September
2021 in Shanghai, China, have now been scheduled for 12–17 October 2022.
WorldSkills International announced last November the postponement of the
championship by one year due to the Covid-19 pandemic.
To ensure that the decision to change the date will not impact participants, the WorldSkills General Assembly unanimously approved a onetime change in the age eligibility criteria for the Competition. If a Competitor was age eligible for the WorldSkills Competition 2021, then they will also be eligible for 2022.
It was also agreed that the WorldSkills Conference, which runs parallel to the Competition bringing together leaders in education, government, business, and industry from around the globe, will take place on 13–14 October.
“The
new event dates have been decided taking into account the continued
unprecedented restrictions brought by the pandemic. We are confident that this
period will provide all stakeholders with sufficient time for Members to host
local and national competitions, train Competitors and to carry out their
mission in such challenging times,” said David Hoey, CEO of WorldSkills
International.
