All in all, the WorldSkills Abu Dhabi 2017 which took place from 14
to 19 October gathered over 1,200 contestants from 59 countries.
This year, requirements were even more demanding than in 2015. For
instance, 700 points in the individual competition were required for a
Medallion of Excellence, as compared with 500 at the WorldSkills Brazil
2015. Nadezhda Kashtelyan, a graduate of Brest State College of Service
Industry, won a medallion in the Hairdressing category. WorldSkills is the
biggest vocational education and skills excellence event in the world, a
sort of Olympics for aspiring workers and specialists. The international
WorldSkills Competition is
held every two years. Taking
part in the event are young
skilled workers, students
of universities, lyceums,
and vocational education
institutions aged up to 22.
The WorldSkills movement is meant to promote blue-collar jobs in the
modern society and increase their popularity among young people.
