Education giant Pearson has been announced as the official partner of Team UK for WorldSkills Lyon, taking place this September.
WorldSkills UK said the partnership will provide a boost to their efforts to improve standards of technical education and apprenticeships in the UK learning from global best practices seen at international skills competitions.
The news marks the first official Team UK partnership for 13 years. It last partnered with City & Guilds, Edge Foundation and charity Brathay for WorldSkills London in 2011.
