It should be noted that the Ministry of Labour and Social Insurance has been a member of the European Skills Promotion Agency Worldskills Europe (WSE) since 2008 and is represented in it by the Productivity Centre. The main activity of the WSE is the biennial organisation of the Euroskills European Skills Competition, which is a unique opportunity to demonstrate quality, manufacturing excellence and craftsmanship in Europe. The competition focuses on the trades and skills that are considered essential to maintain Europe's competitiveness and aims to attract more young people into technical professions.
The Euroskills competition is open to young people up to 25 years old from WSE member countries in Europe who have acquired or are in the process of acquiring vocational skills. Participation in the competition is judged and decided through national skills competitions organised by each member country. The first Euroskills competition took place in September 2008 in Rotterdam, the Netherlands.
