WorldSkills Conference 2019 “Skills for Change: Building Blocks for Impact”

This August, Kazan will be the skills capital of the world as the city hosts the WorldSkills Competition. 1,600 young people from around the globe will compete to be world champions in 56 different skills.

Alongside the Competition, the WorldSkills Conference will take place. The agenda of the conference would be reaching to the solutions for:

• How can we train an agile generation of skilled young people for the future?
• How will they stay relevant in the face of economic, social and technological transformations?

About the Programme:

At WorldSkills Conference 2019, industry leaders, policy-makers, education and training providers, researchers, and changemakers will turn Kazan into an international incubator for innovative solutions for change. The programme will be presented over three unique and connected tracks connecting the global megatrends to the UN Sustainable Development Goals and the 2017 Youth Declaration on the Future of TVET.

The programme will feature three tracks to help the participants organize your time, and maximize your experience:

Thriving Societies

Social stratification, migration, multiculturalism and changing demographics are transforming today’s societies. Skills are essential in adapting to this increasingly complex reality. Not only do skills provide equal access to opportunities for those who are marginalized, but they also enable people to fulfill their potential and nurture their talents, passions, and impact. This track explores how skills can build a world where happy, tolerant, and equal global citizens coexist and collaborate through skills-based solutions.

Evolving Economies

The fast-paced evolution of economies and industries requires skill flexibility and innovation. This track explores the global trends that shape the new reality in labour markets and paints the future portrait of human capital. The discussions will center on young people’s ability to stay agile in the face of uncertainty and on using their skills to create a more productive, competitive and inclusive economy.

Self-Sustaining Ecosystems

As environmental concerns continue to shake our societies, the promotion of green skills should be at the heart of the skills agenda. Young skilled people will have a pivotal role to play in the design and use of technologies and solutions for a positive environmental footprint. This track explores ways to train the next generation for “green collar jobs” that will in turn, translate to a greener and more circular economy.
