The competition setup is nothing short of impressive. Since
August 26, more than 500 people have

training and competition hub. Each workshop has been meticulously
designed to replicate real-world conditions, enabling competitors
to perform in environments that mirror their future workplaces and
offering settings that test both technical ability and
adaptability.
The excitement reached a peak during the opening ceremony on
Tuesday 10th, a grand celebration of talent, passion,
and determination. In front of an energized audience, every
delegation paraded with their flags, champions from previous
competitions delivered inspiring speeches, and French President
Emmanuel Macron declared the
competition officially open. This powerful moment set the stage for
the intense days to come and shed a light on the importance of
vocational training and its role in shaping the future
workforce.
With the first day of competition behind us, the event is now
fully underway. Competitors from all skills and sectors have begun
their journey towards excellence, performing under the watchful
eyes of a panel of judges. The atmosphere at Eurexpo is charged
with focus and energy as competitors give their all, eager to earn
a place among the best in the world. As the competition progresses,
WorldSkills Lyon 2024 promises to be a showcase of skill,
dedication, and innovation. The world is watching as these young
