23 Highly Skilled Youths Emerged As Gold Medalists In Worldskills Singapore 2021
A total of 23 young talents emerged as Gold Medalists in the
gruelling WorldSkills Singapore (WSS) 2021 competition, which saw 165
competitors vying for top honours across 18 skill areas. Top Medalists, together with selected WSS 2020 winners, will form the 33-member contingent to represent Singapore at the 46th WorldSkills Competition (WSC) in Shanghai, China, in October 2022.
WSS 2021 yielded 20 Gold, 21 Silver and 19 Bronze medals, with
each individual winner receiving cash awards of $3,000, $2,000 and
$1,000 respectively, and each team event winner receiving cash awards of
$4,500, $3,000 and $1,500 respectively. Please refer to the Annex A for
the details of the results. WSS 2021 was held from Wednesday, 29
September, to Saturday, 9 October 2021 at ITE College Central and the
five Polytechnics, with competitions for each Skills Area held over a
three-day period.
Mr Ong Tze-Ch’in, Chairman of WorldSkills Singapore Council and Chief
Executive of SkillsFuture Singapore, said, “Beyond selecting contestants
who are going on to represent Singapore at the WorldSkills Competition
in Shanghai, WorldSkills Singapore is a national competition that aims
to celebrate skills mastery among our youths. This pursuit of skills
mastery is an important facet of our national SkillsFuture movement.”
The WSS 2021 Competition was decentralised across ITE College Central
and the polytechnics in view of the on-going COVID-19 situation. The
number of attendees was limited to 50 at each skills competition, and
all attendees were required to take an antigen rapid test (ART) test
before the competition. Other safety measures included no intermingling
during skills competitions, social distancing requirements, and daily
cleaning and disinfection of the venues.
