The grand opening of the WorldSkills 2019 Championship took place in Kazan, bringing together 1,300 contestants from 63 countries.

“WorldSkills has long become much more than just a competition among young people - in fact, this is the championship of the future. This is the future where there is a place for creativity and discoveries, for friendship and new victories. And most importantly, here one can get the most useful skill for a person of the 21st century: the habit of studying in order to find a profession that you like and become a real master in it. WorldSkills helps to find one’s way in life, to reveal the potential - this is the reason for the success of the movement in Russia,” said Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev.
