WorldSkills Sweden

Where the most skilled youth in Sweden compete to be the best young professional in their vocation!

Every team member is a young professional in their different fields but each of them are a specialist in their own trade. They are important ambassadors for Swedish vocational education; both in Sweden and abroad.

EuroSkills competition lets Europe’s most skilled young professionals compete in their different vocational field for the chance to become the most skilled young in Europe in their profession.

The WorldSkills competition is one of the world’s largest events and where competitors compete to be crowned the best young professional in the world in their vocational field!

Our ambassadors inform kids in secondary school about the benefits of TVET and it’s a smart choice for their future. They are role models for the kids to identify with and former competitors in the Swedish National Skills Team.

We conduct two surveys every year that measures and follow the attitude towards TVET. One survey measures the attitude of the Swedish public at large and the other measures the attitudes of ninth graders in Sweden.

YourTalant is aimed towards secondary school students and seeks to expand their knowledge of different professions and broaden their perspective on their future education.

YourSkills provides information about vocations and skills (TVET) to people who have moved to Sweden from abroad. We do this through videos, illustrations and social media advertisements.

At one time or another, the vast majority of professionals have thought about changing career. Career Switching informs people how they easily can do so into a vocational career.

The Jobs Tournament (Yrkeskampen) is a fun contest that seeks to expand 8th graders’ knowledge about skills and TVET and inspire them to think about their future through activities focused on TVET and with hands-on assignments highlighting different vocations.

We have several projects that aim to highlight the importance of vocational teachers. Both to raise the professional pride of current vocational teacher but also to inspire more professionals to start to teach.

Meet a Professional is material that provides schools with a model that allows students to encounter working life in the classroom. The model can be used by teachers and VGCs to create virtual meetings between students and people in working life. The professionals are of course active and past competitors from the Swedish National Skills team”.

Guides are available for schools for various lessons concerning the role of different occupations in society, myths about upper secondary school selection and preparations for work experience and traineeships. These popular lesson guides are available in several languages.
