one of the biggest problems for employers. Skills development is an answer to the problem
since well trained professionals have a greater chance of entering a successful career. The article discusses the idea of skills competitions which motivate young people to struggle for excellence in their professions. The Hungarian experience is analyzed since it was the first eastern European country to organize an international skills event, EuroSkills 2018 in Budapest. In order to choose national representatives qualifying competitions are organized. In the past, Hungarian private businesses and sponsors of various trades organized such events at different times and venues which proved to be chaotic and ineffective. However, when the Hungarian Chamber of Commerce and Industry (MKIK) was delegated to all tasks and responsibilities related to Hungary’s participation in EuroSkills and WorldSkills competitions, the national qualifying events started to attract increasing numbers of participants and visitors. Undoubtedly, merging single events into one large-scale national event “Szakma Sztár Fesztivál” allowed to reach a wide target group as well as provide a forum to meet with representatives of different sectors of industry; a practice worth implementing everywhere |
