Discover the WorldSkills treasure
The WorldSkills Foundation is often referred to as the “treasure” of WorldSkills. This is in great part due to the understanding that in addition to Competitions and conferences, there is incredible value in the WorldSkills network of Champions, Experts, and others who can sustain their passion for skill development and excellence by sharing what they know and doing all they can to contribute to improving our world with the power of skills. At WorldSkills Sao Paulo 2015, the WorldSkills Foundation will present several innovative projects. The “New Look at Skills” is a collaboration between WorldSkills Foundation and Autodesk, mentioned above.

Update from the Sanitation Studio Project in Nepal

Healthabitat Director Paul Pholeros has returned there to support local teams, and has advised that the teams noted some of the most severe destruction seen in their entire trip, which had already included some of the hardest-hit areas of the country.
