Skills+ 3.0

  Realisation: 2023-2026

Showcasing skills and boosting employability for people with a labour disability through national and European competitions.

The main goal of the project is to increase the chances of people with disabilities on the labor market. The main tool for an integrated labor market are professional skills competitions at the national and also at the European level. The project provides disabled people with a unique opportunity to present their knowledge and skills at competitions, to show their strengths and advantages.
The project builds on the innovative approach already proven in two previous projects, namely Paraskills and Skills Plus, which successfully adapted a globally recognized vocational education and training competition to focus on increasing the skills and talents of people with disabilities.
A total of 8 organizations are involved in the project, 4 of which have already participated in previous projects and 4 joined the partnership anew to enable the impact of this useful idea to be expanded.

14.11.2025 National Round of the Skills+ 3.0 Competition


On 5 November 2025, the national round of the Skills+ 3.0 competition took place. In a great atmosphere, teams competed in the fields of horticulture and IT. All participants delivered excellent performances. Within a short time, they managed to prepare and plant garden beds, including paved pathways. At the computers, invitations for events were created, and graphic design was combined with common user software.
The competition was held at the Secondary School for Hearing-Impaired Students in Valašské Meziříčí, with the participation of teachers from the Secondary School of Professor Zdeněk Matějček in Ostrava. Ostrava could become another city where skills competitions for participants with special educational needs may expand in the future.

Choosing the winners was difficult, as the jury deliberated for a long time due to the outstanding results of all teams. In the end, the decision was based on criteria such as teamwork, the ability to plan and organize work effectively, and creative solutions while meeting the given requirements. The winning teams in both categories advance to the European round of the competition, which is planned for November 2026 in the Netherlands

10.04.2024 Kick-off meeting of the project SKILLS+ 3.0!


We're delighted to announce the kickoff of the third edition of the E+ funded project, SKILLS+ 3.0!
Our kick-off meeting brought together experienced partners from past Skills+ events and new partners from various countries. We addressed administrative details and provided new partners with introductory training to understand the core principles and regulations of the Skills+ competition.

At Skills+, inclusion and diversity are paramount. Our competitions empower individuals with (work-related) disabilities, focusing solely on talent, not disability.
