FE Week followed all 28 Team UK competitors to Shanghai as their official media partner. This special edition supplement has every competitor’s result, from the golds won by Ruth Douglas and Samuel Jones to the 13 medals for excellence. It also has the best of our photos from the competition floor.

Senior reporter Anviksha Patel’s Shanghai diary covers the countdown to gold with exclusive behind-the-scenes details and competitor interviews. She also brings you the WorldSkills president’s message to employers: “invest in the human”.

Editor Shane Chowen looks at how the highest-performing nations build their champions. He also sets out the next three dates for the sector’s diary: the UK national finals in Wales this November, EuroSkills Düsseldorf in 2027 and WorldSkills Aichi in 2028.

Anna Trethewey, chief strategy and vocational officer at our reporting partner AQA, writes about what AQA and WorldSkills are both working towards, and where vocational education goes next.
