Supporting its philosophy of encouraging young recruits to the body repair industry, Car-O-Liner is once again sponsoring the WorldSkills event which takes place this year in São Paulo, Brazil in August.

This is the fourth WorldSkills competition for which Car-O-Liner has sponsored the Autobody Repair skill competition and it will be providing no less than 23 complete work bays with equipment from alignment benches to measuring equipment and welders.

Jonas Gunnarsson, VP and Manager, BU Automotive commented, ““The main purpose of this sponsorship is for  Car-O-Liner to emphasize the importance of vocational education for the younger generation in their quest for excellence within their chosen field of Autobody Repair. We also hope to inspire and change the lives of young people, skills excellence is the driving force behind success. Car-O-Liner is once again honoured and committed to fulfil its sponsorship for the fourth consecutive event.”

This is the first time WorldSkills has been held in Latin America. Some 1200 strong talented young people from more than sixty countries will be taking part across fifty skills categories competing for the coveted title of “WorldSkills Champion”.

In Brazil, the competition will be organized by WorldSkills International together with the National Service for Industrial Training (SENAI), one of the five largest professional education institutions in the world.
