TALENTS4AA AT WORLDSKILLS LYON 2024

From September 10-15, 2024, TALENTS4AA proudly participated in the WorldSkills International Competition in Lyon, France. Our booth was located in Hall 7, within the Transport and Logistics sector. This prestigious event brought together young professionals from around the world, showcasing their exceptional skills and expertise in various disciplines, including automotive-related fields.

Engagement with Future Talent 

Our presence at WorldSkills2024 offered an incredible opportunity to engage with talented young individuals and highlight the exciting career paths within the automotive aftermarket. Throughout the event, our team actively interacted with students from secondary schools, high schools, and technical/vocational schools, introducing them to the innovative and dynamic world of the mobility aftermarket.

Key Highlights 

Panel Discussion 

A special mention goes to Maria Elo, TALENTS4AA ambassador and a professor at the University of Southern Denmark, who participated in a panel discussion titled “Reimagining Workplaces, Cultivating Inclusion: Attracting More Women into STEM.” This vital discussion focused on addressing the barriers of bias and systemic oppression that hinder women’s participation in STEM fields. Maria and the other panelists highlighted various projects that have successfully created pathways for girls and women to pursue careers in STEM, inspiring a new generation to break through barriers and engage with these critical industries.

Our booth was a center of interest, where we provided valuable insights about the sector and showcased the diverse career opportunities available.

Additionally, we provided tote bags, creating a memorable takeaway for these aspiring professionals.
