Chandigarh Design School (India’s only accredited NSDC certification provider in UI UX Design) Founder and SXILL Founder Vineet Raj Kapoor was part of the Worldskills International (Shenzhen) Invitational Competition at China. He was lauded for the exemplary work done by him in Worldskills International Invitational Competition in China.

International (Shenzhen) Invitational Competition is part of the preparation for Worldskills that is being held in September 2024 at Lyon France.

Founded in 1950, WorldSkills is the global hub for skills excellence and development. WorldSkills brings youth, industries, and educators together to give youth the chance to compete, experience, and learn how to become the best in their skill of choice. From the traditional trades to multi-skilled technology careers in the industry and service sectors, supported by partners, industries, governments, volunteers, and educational institutions, WorldSkills’ vision is to improve the world through the power of skills. It has 85 member countries and regions, all working with youth, educators, governments, and industries to help prepare the workforce and talent of today for the jobs of the future.

IndiaSkills 2023 National Competition was held from 16-18 May 2024 at Yashobhoomi, Dwarka, New Delhi. Participants from 26 states/ union territories displayed their talent in 54 skills such as design, graphics, beauty therapy, cyber security, floristry robot system integration, cloud computing, water technology, painting and decorating, health and social care, among others. The candidates will compete against more than 1,400 participants from over 60 countries competing in 63 skills. A biennial competition, WorldSkills Competition has become popular over the years and is a global hub for skill excellence, bringing together skilled youth of diverse backgrounds and nations.

IndiaSkills Competition is organised by National Skill Development Corporation (NSDC), an apex skill development organisation working under the Ministry of Skill Development and Entrepreneurship (MSDE). IndiaSkills, the country’s biggest skill competition, is designed to demonstrate the highest standards of skilling and offers a platform to young people to showcase their talent at national and international levels. IndiaSkills Competition—regional and national—is held every two years with the support of state governments, industry, Sector Skill Councils (SSCs), State Skill Development Missions (SSDMs), corporates and partner institutes. IndiaSkills Competition has the potential to reach the grassroot level and make an impact.

Worldskills 2024 would take place at Lyon, France from 10-15 September 2024. India is sending a contingent of about 60 candidates and 50 experts to compete for the Gold, Silver and Bronze Medals. This contingent would be attending a farewell at Delhi on 3 September.

Speaking on the success, the SXILL Founder Vineet Raj Kapoor, and National Jury and Expert (Industrial Design) for Worldskills said “I am thankful to MESC India for providing me the opportunity to serve the country as Skill Competition Manager and Chief Expert (India) for IDT, and finally as India’s Expert for Industrial Design Technology at Worldskills, Lyon, France in September 2024”.

Neelu Kapoor shared, “At SXILL the Students have the opportunity to choose from a range of skills including Graphic Design, Film Making, UI/UX Design, Animation, 3D Modelling, Digital Marketing, and a chance for upward mobility through upskilling for top performers. The programme facilitates seamless transitions between skills, giving students unmatched flexibility to shape their career direction as their careers progress.

Various aspects discussed including the gap between the Industry and the Academia, the impact of AI, how technology impacts art et al. Commenting on the impact of Technology, Vineet shared, “Technology is created in an answer to the gaps, so it is never art that is catching up, but it is technology. Art in it’s zest jumps ahead creating gaps just like the Mendeleev’s table, and it is for us, to find the technology that can meet the expectations and fill the gaps.

Commenting on AI, Vineet said, “AI is not capable of thinking ahead. It is instead a good servant who can do repetitive tasks with the accuracy unknown to man. However, it is incapable of decisions.”
