WorldSkills International Competition cancelled

46th WorldSkills International Competition scheduled to be held in Shanghai has been cancelled due to ongoing pandemic prevention and control restrictions in China.

Scheduled for October 12-17, 2022, the competition was originally planned for 2021.

“It is with deep disappointment that we announce the cancellation of WorldSkills Shanghai 2022,” says WorldSkills International president Chris Humphries. “Looking ahead to the future, we have no doubt that when China hosts a WorldSkills Competition, it will be extraordinary.
We are grateful for the time and resources that the competitors and the committed supporters, employers, experts, and partners have invested in preparation for the event. Alongside WorldSkills members and partners, we are working actively to develop alternative competitive arrangements to celebrate your skills in 2022. Look for announcements by the end of June 2022.”
