As a silver partner, Sandvik Coromant will support the ‘Production and engineering technologies’ competition as well as lead the skills contest ‘Manufacturing team challenge’.
WorldSkills is the global hub of skills that brings together educators, industry, national governments and international organisations to facilitate salient research and provide the best global benchmark for vocational systems.
The 45th WorldSkills competition will welcome more than 1,300 young professionals from 63 countries to compete in 56 different skills. The event will be held at the Kazan Expo International Exhibition Centre where up to 1,300 experts will evaluate the competitors’ work.
The championship features skills within six categories: Information and Communication Technologies, Manufacturing and Engineering Technologies, Construction and Building Technologies, Social and Personal Services, Creative Arts and Fashion, Transportation and Logistics.
Metalcutting skills are essential to the global economy and the future of the manufacturing industry. Sandvik Coromant is committed to help bridge the skills’ gap in the metalcutting industry and reinforces its longstanding partnership with WorldSkills.
The skills competition lead by Sandvik Coromant ‘Manufacturing team challenge’ will require participants to create a concept for a production project, then develop and implement the project in a team.
The key task of the competition is to assemble a team of specialists whose skills and knowledge will complement each other. In addition to personal talents, team members must make their own contribution to the overall work, clearly know their strengths and weaknesses, have the skills of interpersonal interaction, and think beyond their competence.
"Along with other leading manufacturing companies, we have been supporting the WorldSkills movement on the local level for many years, because this is the only way to solve complex technological problems, train young professionals, and thus, contribute to the development of the industry as a whole. Teamwork is one of the core values that underpins Sandvik Coromant's corporate culture around the world. Therefore, “Manufacturing team challenge” was an obvious choice for us," says Sergey Shpak, Sales Cluster Manager Russia East.
