WorldSkills UK is a portfolio of skills competition activity managed by the National Apprenticeship Service in partnership with organisations from industry and education.

WorldSkills UK is promoted through a range of organisations and is supported by our network of champions.

The Competition activity is designed to raise participation, esteem and standards in apprenticeships and vocational training.  Outstanding competitors, aged 18 – 25,  who excel in WorldSkills UK Competitions will be invited to compete for a place in the team that represents the UK at WorldSkills, the biennial international skills competition.

The next international WorldSkills Competition will be held in Leipzig, Germany in 2013.
