OTTAWA,\u00a0Ontario, October 22, 2022<\/strong> \u2013 Last night, at the Closing Ceremony for the WorldSkills Competition 2022 Special Edition, which took place from October 18 to 20, 2022, in Brampton, Ontario, Canada, the medalists in Industrial Mechanics were announced.<\/p>\n

The gold medal was awarded to Sota Morimoto from Japan, the silver medal to Lukas Schw\u00e4rzler from Austria and the bronze medals to Hyeonsu Lee from Korea and Gil Beutler from Switzerland. In addition, the Medallion of Excellence was awarded to Zong-Han Lin from Chinese Taipei.<\/p>\n

The 2022 WorldSkills Competition Special Edition includes 62 Skill Areas, and over 1,000 competitors from around the globe who are vying for the title of international champion. In order to represent Canada at\u00a0 the WorldSkills Competition, competitors had to win the right through the 2022 Skills Canada National Competition, in Vancouver, this past May. Canada is participating in a total of 27 Skill Areas that are being hosted in 11 countries.<\/p>\n

The 46th WorldSkills Competition was initially scheduled to be hosted in Shanghai, in October 2022. However due to lockdowns and ongoing pandemic prevention and control restrictions in China, hosting the event was not possible in 2022. Following the decision, WorldSkills Members and Global Partners began discussions on alternative opportunities for the Competitors that were preparing for WorldSkills Competition 2022. WorldSkills International and its member countries and regions came together to create the WorldSkills Competition 2022 Special Edition.<\/p>\n

Thanks to the commitment of WorldSkills Partners and Members, 62 skill competitions will be hosted in 29 events, in 26 cities, in 15 countries and regions between September 7 and November 26, 2022.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe WorldSkills Competition is a great way to inspire youth from around the world to pursue a career in the skilled trades and technologies. Getting youth interested in pursuing skilled trade and technology careers to build our future workforce is crucial for our country\u2019s economy,\u201d said Shaun Thorson, Chief Executive Officer, Skills\/Comp\u00e9tences Canada.<\/p>\n

The WorldSkills Competition, which is typically held every two years, is the world\u2019s largest professional education event and represents the gold standard of excellence in skilled trades and technologies. The WorldSkills Competition inspires young competitors to reach new heights, helping them turn their passion into a profession. WorldSkills Competitions create a global platform to help young people change their lives through skills. #SkillsChangeLives.<\/strong>
