The 48th WorldSkills Competition concluded in Shanghai on the evening of September 27th. Seventeen competitors from Guangdong took part in 16 events, winning 13 gold medals, one bronze medal and two Medals for Excellence. Guangdong ranked first nationwide in the number of competitors, events and medals.

CNC Milling was Guangdong's safest bet for a gold medal. Li Zhuoping won the event, securing China's sixth consecutive gold medal in CNC Milling. From the 43rd to the 48th editions, every gold medalist in this event has come from Guangdong Machinery Technician College.

Robot Systems Integration is another event worth highlighting. It became an official event only at the previous WorldSkills Competition, and Guangdong competitors won gold in that same edition. This year, Li Haoyang and Luo Jiewei teamed up to achieve a second consecutive gold.

Joinery, Mechanical Engineering CAD and Industrial Design Technology—traditional strengths for Guangdong—continued to add golds this year. The reason Guangdong keeps producing gold medalists in these events lies not in the competition arena, but in the workshop. The precision standards required in the arena are simply the core benchmarks of daily production for Guangdong's manufacturers.

Seven new events were introduced at this year's WorldSkills Competition, and Guangdong competitors took part in two of them: Software Testing and Digital Interactive Media Design. They won gold in both.

In Software Testing, Lan Duancheng, from Guangzhou Industry and Trade Technician College, won gold. His school led China's proposal to include Software Testing as a WorldSkills event. His gold was the first ever in Software Testing at WorldSkills.

The scale of Guangdong's core AI industry exceeded 300 billion yuan in 2025, growing by more than 40% year on year and accounting for about one-quarter of the national total. The faster the industry grows and the more complex its systems become, the greater the demand for professionals in quality assurance. Lan's gold medal on the WorldSkills stage shows that Guangdong has built up a ready pool of talent for emerging fields.

In Digital Interactive Media Design, Liu Kaiwen, from Guangzhou Communications Technician Institute, also won gold. Guangdong has long been a national leader in the digital creative industry. In 2025, the province's total gaming revenue exceeded 283.6 billion yuan, accounting for 80.8% of the national market. Its overseas revenue exceeded 46.4 billion yuan, ranking first in the country. What Liu trains in is exactly what Guangdong's digital creative industry produces every day.

世赛收官：广东13金背后的“厚度”与“路径”

9月27日晚，第48届世界技能大赛在上海落幕。广东17名选手出战16个项目，斩获13金1铜及2个优胜奖，参赛人数、项目数和奖牌数均居全国第一。

数控铣是广东最稳的一块金牌。李卓平拿下这个项目的冠军，实现了中国在世赛数控铣项目上的“六连冠”。从第43届到第48届，这个项目的金牌选手全部来自广东省机械技师学院。

机器人系统集成是另一个值得单独拎出来的项目。这个赛项上届才成为正式赛项，广东选手当届就拿了金牌。本届李昊洋和罗杰伟搭档出战，完成了“两连冠”。

精细木工、CAD机械设计、工业设计技术——这些广东的传统强项，本届继续有金牌入账。广东之所以能在这些项目上持续输出金牌选手，答案不在赛场，在车间。赛场上的精度标准，不过是广东制造企业日常生产的核心标尺。

本届世赛新增七个项目，广东选手参加了其中两个：软件测试和数字交互媒体设计，两个都拿了金牌。

软件测试赛项参赛选手蓝端诚，来自广州市工贸技师学院。这个赛项的中国牵头申报单位，就是他的学校。他拿下的这块金牌，是世赛软件测试项目的历史首金。

广东人工智能核心产业规模2025年突破3000亿元，同比增长超40%，占全国约四分之一。产业跑得越快、系统越复杂，对质量保障环节的人才需求就越密集。蓝端诚站上这个赛场并夺金，说明广东在新赛道的人才储备已经到位。

数字交互媒体设计赛项参赛选手刘铠文，来自广州市交通技师学院。广东数字创意产业在全国一直是领跑者，2025年全省游戏总营收超2836亿元，占全国市场规模的80.8%，出海营收超464亿元，稳居全国第一。刘铠文练的东西，就是广东数字创意产业每天在产出的东西。
