EuroSkills 2025 Competition Preparation Meeting begins in Herning

More than 300 delegates have arrived in Herning, Denmark for the Competition Preparation Meeting (CPM) for EuroSkills Herning 2025.

CPM is a pivotal event in the lead up to a EuroSkills Competition. It is when delegates from all WorldSkills Europe Member Countries gather together with Sponsors, Partners, advisers, and the Competition Organising Team to review and finalise plans for the technical and practical aspects of staging the Competition.

The series of meetings at CPM include detailed organising meetings and workshops for each of the skill competitions, finalisation of the Infrastructure List (IL), layout of the workshops, and health, safety, and environment requirements.

WorldSkills Europe extends a very warm welcome to the 300+ delegates, including those from our 33 Member Countries, as well as Workshop Management teams, Experts, Skills Advisors, and our WorldSkills Europe Sponsors and Partners.

We would also like to thank our excellent CPM hosts, the Competition Organising Team of EuroSkills Herning 2025.
