Quotes
Jusuev Kuvan — General Director of Aiko Seiko LLC, founder of the WorldSkills movement in Kyrgyzstan:
“The WorldSkills movement is the work of my life. Over the years, I have seen how our young professionals progress from the first local competitions to international platforms of world level, where they confidently demonstrate their skills and professionalism.
For Kyrgyzstan, WorldSkills is not just championships. It is a new culture of labor, modern quality standards, and new horizons for our youth. Each international trip brings us closer to ensuring that the country occupies its confident place in the global professional community.
For me, it is important not only to participate but also that young people learn to think globally, work to high standards, and master the technologies that shape the future. We will continue to support and invest in these young people because they will be the driving force behind the development of the economy and will elevate the prestige of working professions in Kyrgyzstan to a new level.”
