On the afternoon of June 5, the Chungnam Office of Education held a launching ceremony for the Chungnam Student Team participating in the 60th National Skills Competition in 2025. The event took place at the Student Education and Culture Center, with Superintendent Kim Ji-cheol, principals from various schools, athletes, coaches, and about 150 participants in attendance.

During the ceremony, a scholarship certificate presentation was also held by the Education Love Scholarship Foundation to encourage the student athletes competing in the National Skills Competition.

The '60th National Skills Competition in 2025', which will be held in Gwangju, is scheduled to take place over seven days from September 20 to 26. Around 1,800 athletes will compete in 50 trades, including polymechanics, at six venues such as the Kimdaejung Convention Center.

With the launching ceremony, the Chungnam Student Team has begun full-scale preparations for the competition. A total of 102 students from 21 vocational high schools in the province will compete in 36 trades.

Chungnam, which achieved fifth place nationwide at the 59th competition held last year in Gyeongsangbuk-do, is aiming for a top ranking again this year.

In particular, the team plans to achieve high rankings by developing specialized club guidance strategies linked to the characteristics of each department and curriculum, and by implementing a two-coach system (multiple coach system) to foster highly skilled technical talent.

Superintendent Kim Ji-cheol said, "Please provide active support so that our students can fully demonstrate their potential and achieve results without regret through systematic strategies for winning and skills training guidance."
