Worldskills Germany Championship 2025

21.05.2025 - 24.05.2025

The German WorldSkills Championships in Weilburg brought talented young IT professionals from across the country together to compete in the discipline IT Network Systems Administration. It was an inspiring event where I had the opportunity to connect with others who share a passion for technology and innovation.

Engaging with participants from diverse companies offered fascinating insights into how varied the IT industry truly is - not only in terms of structure but also in the nature of technical challenges tackled by different organizations. This experience broadened my perspective and deepened my appreciation for the complexity and scale of the sector.

The competition was centered on the practical implementation of a simulated customer project, evaluated through five challenging modules over the course of several days. I’m proud to have secured Vice Champion and truly grateful for the opportunity to participate.

A heartfelt thank you to WorldSkills Germany for making this championship possible!
