Top Medalists, together with selected WSS 2020 winners, will form the 33-member contingent to represent Singapore at the 46th WorldSkills Competition (WSC) in Shanghai, China, in October 2022.

Mr Ong Tze-Ch’in, Chairman of WorldSkills Singapore Council and Chief Executive of SkillsFuture Singapore, said, “Beyond selecting contestants who are going on to represent Singapore at the WorldSkills Competition in Shanghai, WorldSkills Singapore is a national competition that aims to celebrate skills mastery among our youths. This pursuit of skills mastery is an important facet of our national SkillsFuture movement.”
The WSS 2021 Competition was decentralised across ITE College Central and the polytechnics in view of the on-going COVID-19 situation. The number of attendees was limited to 50 at each skills competition, and all attendees were required to take an antigen rapid test (ART) test before the competition. Other safety measures included no intermingling during skills competitions, social distancing requirements, and daily cleaning and disinfection of the venues.
