[Sejong=Asia Economy Reporter Moon Chaeseok] Ahead of the International Skills Olympics to be held in Shanghai, China next year, a joint workshop for South Korea's national representative athletes and international judges will be held over three days from the 27th to the 29th. The Korea Industrial Human Resources Corporation hosted the event at the Global Skilled Technology Promotion Center in Bupyeong-gu, Incheon.

The national representative athletes and international judges participating in the workshop are expected to pledge their determination to achieve successful results at the competition through an oath-taking ceremony. Along with mandatory Olympic education, group discussions for effective long-term intensive training will also take place.

Samsung Electronics has decided to provide sponsorship funds amounting to 720 million KRW to support the enhancement of the athletes' capabilities.

The 46th International Skills Olympics in Shanghai, China, was originally scheduled for September but was postponed due to the spread of COVID-19 and will now be held from October 12 to 17 next year. South Korea will participate with 51 athletes competing in 46 categories, including industrial machinery.
