Welcome to the Global Stage for Skills
In preparation for the Plumbing & Heating competition at WorldSkills Shanghai 2026, we’re proud to host a live training showcase featuring international plumbing contestants completing a series of technical tasks. In this introduction, Jerry Whiteley will outline the WorldSkills format, its importance to the plumbing profession, and its role in developing the next generation of skilled tradespeople.
Delegates are invited to visit the workshop area throughout the conference to observe the precision, standards, and spirit of excellence on display—celebrating the power of vocational training to transform careers, communities, and infrastructure worldwide.
