2015 in review

It is always challenging to summarize in a “year in review” – whether of an individual, organization, or community. In the case of looking back at 2015 and the WorldSkills movement, this task becomes literally impossible given the year’s activity and the limited space here. That said, there are several highlights I want to share – milestones and recognition, aspects of growth with quality and continued impact. Together, we are indeed improving our world with the power of skills. All that we experienced, learned, and achieved over the past 12 months has been the result of collective effort, shared by all of us – Members, Experts, Volunteers, Partners and Sponsors, amazing Competitors and Champions. I offer my thanks and extend thanks on behalf of the Board of Directors and the WorldSkills team to everyone who has been a part of the Competitions, programmes, and projects that not only shaped this year but also created momentum and legacy for future years. You have contributed to making the WorldSkills 65th year a memorable and pivotal part of our history.
