The national and international networks forged through the global
benchmarking of technical skills excellence, offers the UK an opportunity to showcase our technical
provision globally whilst also bringing back world-class standards into our own national skills systems.

Gillian Keegan MP Minister for Apprenticeships and Skills

This is a fantastic opportunity for our members to work together and
share best practices to drive up excellence in the quality and
delivery of TVET on a global scale. During 2021, we want to
use the WorldSkills Year of Innovation to continue connecting
young people through a series of exciting and innovative
programmes that will inspire more of them to take up
skills, and the WorldSkills UK ‘Skills Excellence Partnership’
programme delivers just that.
