Young visitors filled the National Exhibition and Convention Center (NECC) this week for WorldSkills Shanghai 2026. For many, this first glimpse of a career in skills is a chance to reimagine their future.
Tens of thousands of students are watching the Competitors in action, marvelling at their precision and passion. They are then walking through the WorldSkills Shanghai 2026 Expo to test their own talent at more than 400 booths and Try-a-Skill stands.
This integration between the Competition and the Expo encourages students to see a skill in action, then try it for themselves. They soon discover that what looks effortless takes years of training.
Try-a-Skill has been a favourite feature of many WorldSkills Competitions. This year there are 64 Try-a-Skill stands, one for every skill competition at WorldSkills Shanghai 2026. Experiences range from ancient grass weaving at Landscape Gardening to an AI skin analysis at Beauty Therapy.
One student from Burkina Faso tried out the Electrical Installations Try-a-Skill which teaches visitors about the relationship between current and voltage and lets them run their own circuit experiment. He said, “Everyone here has been really helpful and encouraging. It has been useful to test out this skill as it’s similar to my studies. I had a lot of fun and have things I can take away and try.”
