Press Accreditation
WorldSkills Lyon 2024 is the Organizing Committee of the 47th WorldSkills Competition. This event will take place in Lyon from 10 to 15 September 2024, and will bring together 1,500 Competitors from over 65 countries and regions, competing in 62 skills, in front of 250,000 visitors.
More than just a Competition, WorldSkills Lyon 2024 aims to combat prejudices surrounding vocational training to address the challenges of these economically strained sectors and to encourage young people to choose these future-proof careers. These careers, in addition to being in high demand, are as much vectors of excellence, professional success, and fulfillment as other fields.
Attend the Competition
Covering a WorldSkills event is a big responsibility. Unlike major international sporting events to which the Competition may be compared, Competitors are only allowed to participate in one World Competition and most of the young people in this edition have trained for years to achieve this level of excellence in their profession. There are few comparable events in the world in terms of scope or scale. We thank you for covering this Competition and making it known to the world.
The WorldSkills Lyon 2024 Competition is free and accessible to all. However, journalists present in a professional capacity, wishing to cover all or part of the Competition, must be accredited to access the press areas and services.
No journalist, even with a press card, will be authorized to access the Media Center without accreditation.

As France prepares to host two international events in 2024, the French Government’s internal security services have set up a screening system for security reasons.
This means that any person (including the media) wishing to obtain accreditation for the WorldSkills Lyon 2024 Competition must provide a certain amount of personal information in order to be able to access the Competition.
This information can be entered in the “Identifications Details” tab of your personal space on the WorldSkills.org platform (this is the same space that you created for your accreditation request).
