WorldSkills is the largest skills competition, jobs and careers event in the world. It is a competition for youth from 17 to 22 years to demonstrate their excellence in skilled professions. The competition, held in a member country every two years, is promoted and managed by WorldSkills International, formerly known as the International Vocation Training Organisation (IVTO). Started in 1950 in Spain, WSI is the lead global authority for skilled profession development, setting an international standard for excellence in trades, skilled professions and high technology. As of September 2008, WorldSkills International has 50 member countries. The most recent competition was held in WorldSkills London 2011
that took take place 5th - 8th October 2011 at ExCeL London in London's Docklands.
.
Through international competitions held every two years, WSI attempts to raise awareness to the opportunities that exist in skilled professions with the intent of encouraging youth and their parents and teachers to explore career opportunities in skilled trades, skilled professions and high technology.
The WorldSkills Competition allows people from all over the world to "observe the world's best young skilled people in action" says Tjerk (Jack) Dusseldorp, President of WorldSkills International.
"The importance and opportunity for Canada to host the 40th international competition cannot be overemphasized." said Richard Walker, President and CEO of WorldSkills Calgary 2009. "Our goal is to host the best WorldSkills Competition, while offering 200,000 visitors and millions of observers from around the world an opportunity to become part of the event. We will not only stream live across the web, but we will also engage those present and virtual visitors (on the web) to become part of this historic event through interactive and hands on experiences." Walker added.
WorldSkills Calgary 2009 took place from September 1 through September 7, 2009. The event was held at Stampede Park in Calgary, Alberta, Canada. One thousand of the best skilled young people from 50 countries competed in 45 skill areas to determine who was the best of the best. More than 80,000 square meters of space was utilized during the competition and visitors and delegates from around the world occupied 30,000 hotel room nights while visiting Calgary.
The WorldSkills legacy will leave $18 million in new state-of-the art equipment after the event for youth training and education. Finally, WSI and the WorldSkills Calgary Organisation will, through education and youth awareness programs, leave a lasting legacy of awareness to the value of skills training and a career in skilled professions.
Honorary spokespersons for WorldSkills Calgary 2009 are Mike Holmes - Canadian Television personality "Holmes on Homes" and Chef David Adjey - Canadian television personality "Restaurant Make-over".

, the then Director-General of the Organization of Spanish Workers (OJE), Sr. Anthony Elola Olaso, realized it was necessary to create an effective system of professional training.
The idea of Olaso became a project in the hands of Antonio Almagro and Faustino Ramos, Director of the Center for Work, and awakened interests of agencies and companies where the most important centre for training Spanish, "Virgin of La Paloma," the idea embraced.
The first National Competition held in Madrid
, the Spanish capital, was a success. Attended by four thousand apprentices.
But the event creators wanted more. They wanted to promote competitions that challenged competitors, showing the different levels of skill and ability of young people from other countries.
