Our “thank you” today goes to our gold sponsor, Weiler Werkzeugmaschinen GmbH and Kunzmann Maschinenbau Gmbh. The two “partner companies” are particularly committed to the Industrial Mechanics skill at EuroSkills 2021.

Commenting on the commitment, Michael Eisler, MBA, Managing Partner of WEILER, said: “As sponsors, WEILER and KUNZMANN are happy to take advantage of this great opportunity to support the international showdown, which will strengthen the image of dual vocational training. Because the shortage of skilled workers is a latent problem. Although there are enough young academics, there will be a shortage of skilled workers with traditional vocational training in the future. We want to change that, and this also includes upgrading the position of skilled workers in our society.

The EuroSkills offer an excellent opportunity to do this. They show in a playful way how attractive and successful a well-founded apprenticeship in the metal sector is. Comprehensive mechanical and digital knowledge is already taught during the apprenticeship. Numerous further training opportunities are open to curious and interested skilled workers. The metal industry offers many opportunities – for young women as well as for their male colleagues. All people who like to work with their heads as much as with their hands will find a good future in the metal industry.”

Many thanks again for the great support!
