Skills contest to attract talented craftsmen

China will hold its second vocational skills competition in Tianjin, offering a stage for talented craftsmen and young masters before the next WorldSkills competition.

The three-day national competition, from Saturday to Monday, has attracted 4,045 contestants from 36 delegations across the nation.

The competition includes 109 events, among which 62 are organized for selecting competitors for WorldSkills — such as automobile technology and freight forwarding- with winners included in the national team for the world competition in Lyon, France next September.
