The global hub for vocational skills, WorldSkills hosts a championship every two years to showcase talented students who come together to compete in a wide range of competitions. This year’s competition includes student representatives from 77 countries and regions from around the world competing in 51 skill competitions.

Sandvik Coromant is sponsoring six competitions including CNC Milling, CNC Turning, Manufacturing Team Challenge, Industrial Mechanic Millwright, Polymechanics and Automation, Prototype Modelling and Plastic Die Engineering.

Says Sandvik Coromant’s head of marketing execution Brett Cline: “The dedication and talent these students possess is inspiring to us all. We congratulate them on their selection to compete at this high level and we wish them luck in their competitions.”

At WorldSkills Abu Dhabi, Sandvik Coromant will give students a glimpse into the future by showing the CoroPlus® platform at booth H10-014. Students will see how cloud-based analytics and data collection can improve machining operations.

The skills challenges take place from 15 to 18 October 2017.
