We are very excited to announce that Brazil’s former President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva (Lula) will give the keynote address during the WorldSkills Leaders Forum 2013 (WSLF) on 4 July in Leipzig, Germany as part of the 42nd WorldSkills Competition.
As a follow on from this fantastic, once in a life-time opportunity to hear from a well known, well respected global leader, we will provide the chance for the audience of the WSLF to hear from international television celebrity, Mike Holmes, and how he has made it his personal goal to raise the awareness of a skilled young workforce. He will publicly challenge the audience to increase the focus that media is giving skilled young people and he wants to help.
