Global Industry Partner

A Global Industry Partner primarily sponsors WorldSkills International to support the promotion and achievement of its mission and objectives. In return, the Global Industry Partner receives the various benefits as outlined in an agreement. WorldSkills International views the Global Industry Partner Agreement as a partnership that will evolve through dialogue and working together towards common objectives. It is important to note that the Global Industry Partners will get exposure at the WorldSkills Competitions through the WorldSkills Leaders Forum, but they can work with the WorldSkills Competition Host Member to participate in the Event Sponsorship Program that they are offering to gain increased exposure at the WorldSkills Competition.

The Agreement is valid for two years from the date of signing. At the conclusion of the Agreement, the Global Industry Partner will be offered the option of entering a new Agreement based on the then current Global Industry Partner package offered by WorldSkills International.
