Youth Skills Competition Japan 2025
Competition Overview
A competition at which young people who are not yet working engage in skills-based competition
The Youth Skills Competition Japan targets young people (in principle, aged 20 or younger) who are learning skills
at vocational ability development institutions or technical high schools, but are not working at companies or other organizations.
By enabling them to engage in skills-based competition, the event is intended to give these young people a goal
and facilitate their future employment by improving their skills, while an additional aim is to expand the pool of young skilled workers.
