Happy New Year from WorldSkills International

'Twas the start of 2013, and WorldSkills was a scurry,
Not an Expert was sitting, as they're in a planning flurry,
The 42nd WorldSkills Competition soon would be here,
And the Secretariat were doing their share.

The Competitors were all training on equipment donated in-kind,
While visions of tools, codes, food and mannequins swam in their mind,
And the President in his bowler hat, and the CEO in his helicopter,
Were monitoring the Vision 2020 for the early adopters.

When off in Leipzig, Germany there arose such a clatter,
The world sprang to buy tickets and started to chatter,
Airways were buzzing with anticipation and excitement,
Thousands of people were starting a movement.

There were many things coming in 2013 giving people reason to cheer,
From branding, communications and competitions too, oh what a year!
Don't miss out on any of the excitement and glitter,
Sign up for our newsletter, Facebook and Twitter!

As we wish you all the best of luck on the New Year,
We remind you that WorldSkills Leipzig 2013 will soon be here.
And we know this year will be promising and bright
As we all work together towards the CPW in a fortnight.

Here is where we end our little story,
But leave you with this last message of glory
Our movement is continuing to grow in acclaim
Let's all work together to spread WorldSkills' fame!

Wishing you a healthy and happy year ahead.

The Board and Secretariat of WorldSkills International
