EuroSkills lille 2014 - Design Medals

A word on the CYE competition within the Euroskills framework

In 1992 the AIE established the well known European Competition for Young Electricians, highly appreciated by the candidates and Education & Training experts. Young, passionate professionals demonstrate their outstanding level of excellence and competence in both theoretical and practical electrical tasks. In the framework of the partnership between AIE and WSE, the AIE will share its experience and expertise ensuring the high quality of the competition in the new WSE electrical installation category. 

It is therefore a great honour for us to welcome you all to first edition of the European competition for young electricians (CYE) that is integrated within the framework of Euroskills2014 in Lille, France at the Lille Grand Palais from the 2 to 4 October 2014. We look forward to an exciting competition between the best of the best young electricians in Europe. All participants in the competition are already national champions in their own country and are sent to represent their national colours in the European championship. Using the latest available technology and products, this is bound to be an exhibition in exceptional technical skills.

A small European Family

Of course candidates are competing and experts talking and listening, but... there is some space left for a nice boat trip on the Rhine, that took us to the three borders of France, Germany and Switzerland at the same time!
A small European family that is getting along well!

From left to right: Javier Expósito (Spain), Ralph Sassmannshausen (Germany) and David Thomas (UK)

Day 2: same practical task, different approaches

The CYE2012 is all about getting experience and exchange of ideas... While the task is growing, one could see the different approaches that candidates have to continue their work and the priorities they take along the way.
Some hard work has been done surely!!

Click on the picture to continue to the gallery of day 2:
Norwegian candidate Harald Haugen in action.

Day 2: Theoretical test comes along...

One of the specific items of the CYE2012 is the theoretical test, in which candidates show their knowledge skills. And a challenge it was...

Day 1: Getting started on Saturday

Finding out the first steps on the practical task, you see elements grow bit by bit....Finally, it should look like the 'showcase' example within the test booth of the CYE.

In these first nervous minutes, experts can support their candidates enormously by their presence.

And the public is watching closely...


More pics in the gallery of day 1!
The practical task as it should look in the end...

Today from 13PM, 9 candidates and their experts will take the challenge of a new practical task and theoretical test in Basel during 4 days and 22 hours!

About two to three thousand visitors will have the opportunity to watch the electric spectacle during these days.

In addition, VSEI introduces different interviews during the MUBA Basel Messe on a live media platform to promote the profession and skills of these young Electrical installers.
