Ambassadors

I'm not going to become a ‘waxwork’ for the forthcoming WorldSkills Competition. I will try to serve as a role model and promote cooking and catering, as well as other skills.

In my field, I constantly experience a high demand for qualified personnel. And all our victories and achievements are undoubtedly due to the hard work done by a big team of professionals: car designers at factories, engineers, assemblers, electricians, car mechanics and many-many other professions that are just as important.

The work of a cosmonaut is closely related to vocational occupations. It was actually considered as one before because you have to control a spacecraft and maintain its systems and work. As a cosmonaut, you should know how to work with your hands at the same time as using your head. This is exactly what young professionals will do while getting ready and competing at WorldSkills Kazan 2019.

Today we help the youth choose their way and acquire the necessary skills, and tomorrow they will be alongside those who are happy and proud to do their job.

Skills are very important. We live in a materialistic world. We need to eat, get medical treatment, and have our hair cut. We need to repair equipment, create cars. I am impressed with the message of the Competition; it has a good meaning! I am so glad that young people are the main heroes of this event. They are our future.

First of all, every Ambassador should promote the values of the Competition, in other words, popularize skills. I’ll keep doing it and hospitality industry is not the limit because I'm interested in other fields as well. There is always something to share with others no matter what you do: painting, building houses or cooking.

The WorldSkills Kazan 2019 Competition is a fascinating project that inspires the young to pursue self-cultivation and self-perfection, the abilities that matter in every area of one’s life. However, the main thing is that owing to the WorldSkills movement, our school and university students understand how important it is to choose a profession wisely and reach one’s career potential. I have been to several events hosted in Kazan, and I am sure that this time everything will be organized at the highest level as well. I’m looking forward to meeting everyone at the WorldSkills Competition as its Ambassador, which is an honourable mission for me.

It is a great honour for me to become a WorldSkills Kazan 2019 Ambassador because supporting the youth, setting them on the right, “tasty”, and beautiful path – it means a lot to me. I have a daughter and she’s also interested in confectionery. For me, it is important to give as much information as possible, support, help, and inspire the participants of the WorldSkills movement, so I will do my best to make it happen.

The WorldSkills movement is very real to me. I have been doing my job for 20 years, I am a professional makeup artist. It is great to choose a profession in which you create something with your own hands. I feel that I have to become a role model for the younger generation. I am confident that you should listen to your heart when choosing your profession and then everything will work out.

I am so glad that I have joined the team that has an important mission – to promote skills in our country. Thanks for your efforts, enthusiasm, devotion to your profession, and desire to learn new things.
