This year’s WorldSkills competition in Shanghai, scheduled for October, was cancelled due to the pandemic. In its place, there will be the WorldSkills Competition 2022 Special Edition, where 61 finals will take place in 15 countries with over 1,000 competitors. The multi-country international skills competition replaces the traditional biennial event usually held in one city.
