记者 苏婧欣

“技能值得自豪,而不是什么‘次等选择’。”25日,世界技能冠军联络小组非洲代表米勒·姆韦拉库比在2026年世界技能大会上表示,正在举行的世界技能大赛为年轻人提供了展示技能、追求卓越和实现自我突破的机会。

第48届世界技能大赛正在上海国家会展中心举行,来自全球68个国家和地区的1300余名青年技能人才汇聚一堂、同场竞技。不过,这场竞赛对年轻人的影响远不止于奖牌。

来自南非的米勒在一个小镇长大,七年级时随家人搬到开普敦。由于不熟悉当地语言南非荷兰语,他一度在学校学得很吃力。后来,米勒进入技能学校学习,一位老师向他介绍了世界技能大赛。他由此从地区比赛一路晋级,最终代表南非参加了2017年阿布扎比世界技能大赛。

“当我参加世界技能大赛时,我认识到,一个年轻人掌握的技能真的能够改变人生。”米勒回忆道,与世界一流选手竞争的经历,教会了他纪律、精准和韧性,“技能竞赛能够为年轻人提供与他们自身经历相似的榜样,也能够让他们认识到,技能值得自豪,而不是什么‘次等选择’。”

米勒的经历并非个例。世界技能组织2024年10月发布的一份研究报告指出,88%的受访者表示,参加世界技能组织相关活动对参赛选手而言是一段有益经历。调查显示,在50个参与调查的成员组织中,有32个(64%)表示,参赛选手能够很快获得知名雇主提供的理想工作。纳米比亚方面表示,许多往届参赛选手在比赛结束后很快、也很容易进入知名企业工作,其中一些人还开办了自己的企业。

报告指出,在国际舞台上展示技能,可以让年轻人获得对自身技能和专业能力的权威认可。这种认可具有职业价值,也能帮助他们获得同龄人、社区和周围环境的尊重,从而增强自信和幸福感,并进一步成为其他年轻人的榜样。

据介绍,如今的米勒在一所职业技术学院担任培训师,同时还拥有一家砌筑公司。

米勒指出,目前仍有许多有才华的年轻人因各种原因无法进入现有的教育和培训体系,也难以获得类似的发展机会。他认为,社会需要提供更加持续、高质量的职业教育和培训,让技能培训达到更高标准,并为年轻人创造更多进入职场、施展才能的机会。

他特别强调,需要改变社会对职业教育的传统看法,因为技能教育同样能够为年轻人提供成功的道路。
