Young professionals taking part in the Competition, representatives of 82 WorldSkills Member countries/regions including politicians, researchers, industrial partners, heads of educational organizations, and representatives of development institutions gathered at the Conference to discuss economic and technology trends, development of vocational training systems, and transformation of the labour market.

Teams were formed for the implementation of projects aimed at the development of the national educational ecosystem. Delegates had access to the best international practices and expertise, and an opportunity to attend WorldSkills Conference 2019. As part of the national track, an additional working day was arranged (Day 3 – 25 August). Participants of the Conference were able to focus on creating development projects, and implementing the best international practices into the national training system.
