There are clear, positive impacts to participating in #WorldSkills, according to results of an Impact Statement Development Survey from the WorldSkills Global Research Council. Follow-up interviews with Skills Finland and WorldSkills UK also showed the potential for creating a skills-led ecosystem for systemic change, developing local TVET systems by aligning WorldSkills methodologies with national priorities. This skills impact analysis was shared earlier this month at WorldSkills Conference 2024 #WSC2024, connected to conversations about how to elevate skills on the global agenda.

Meet Romana, a driven entrepreneur who transformed her technical education into a thriving business. From 2021 to 2023, she completed a Technical Course in Agro-livestock at the Nhamatanda Polytechnic Institute - ADPP, specialising in Agricultural Extension and Development. Romana started her venture with just 100 chicks, and through hard work and dedication, her business has grown steadily, with her third batch reaching 200 chickens. The income from her poultry business has not only helped her support her household and her mother, but it has also allowed her to reinvest and grow her business. Her goal is to become one of the leading broiler chicken producers, not just in Chimoio but throughout the province of Manica, and eventually across the nation.
