EuroSkills 2021 is going to be one of the most exceptional events in Graz in 2021. At the European Championship of Young Professionals, about 450 young professionals are competing during three days for becoming the European Champion in one of 45 professions. Behind the scenes, the EuroSkills 2021 Organisation Team is responsible for organising a successful event – this is why we need you as a volunteer!

You are probably asking yourself why you would spend your time doing unpaid work and what the benefits of working as a volunteer are? Here are five reasons that might convince you to become a volunteer at one of the greatest events of 2021 in Austria.

1. Volunteering broadens your horizon
   There are hardly any other events where you can meet as many different people in one place as you can as a volunteer at EuroSkills 2021. You are also going to face new challenges that will help you grow: you will learn how to work more independently, take responsibility and act within a big team, which can also bring benefits regarding your future career. Become a volunteer at EuroSkills 2021 and surpass yourself!
2. Meet new people
   EuroSkills 2021 is expecting not only 450 Competitors and their trainers as well as numerous Experts who will judge the Competitors, but also there will be a big group of international volunteers contributing to the event. As a new volunteer, you will have the chance to be part of an open-minded community of interesting and talented people. Establish contacts, extend your own network and make new friends!
3. Volunteering can advance your career
   Not only does volunteering lead to your personal growth, but it also benefits your professional growth. Your future employer will appreciate that you invested your efforts into a community. In addition, volunteering helps you develop a variety of valuable skills. At EuroSkills 2021 we find the right opportunity to shine for every talent, whether you are a genius at logistics or a word juggler.
4. Improve your language skills
   EuroSkills 2021 is an international event involving more than 30 European countries. English is the working language and this is why you will improve your English as an added “bonus”, so to speak. Depending on your field of work, you will also be able to use other languages that you may have already studied at school or university.
5. Get hooked on the “Spirit of Volunteers”
   If you and your colleagues as well as other volunteers are passionate about what you are doing, you will be creating a great atmosphere, which makes volunteering even more special. Smiling sincerely or just sayingg “thank you” are often enough to not only bring joy to yourself, but also the people around you. Being part at EuroSkills 2021 as a volunteer is a unique experience, which may convince you to participate in future events.
