Volunteers

At EuroSkills Herning 2025, we will build 38 competition stands, manage up to 100,000 visitors, and put up a sea of signs. The question is: do you have volunteer skills – and would you like to help keep things running smoothly at Denmark’s biggest education event?

If so, sign up as a volunteer here on this page.

No volunteers, no EuroSkills Herning 2025

“If we don’t have volunteers, we don’t have an event. EuroSkills Herning 2025 – Europe’s Championship for young skilled professional – will be Denmark’s largest educational event. We’ll host 38 competitions, 600 participants from across Europe, and up to 100,000 visitors over three Competition days. It’s going to be massive, and to make it all work, we need dedicated volunteers.  

 

At EuroSkills 2025, we have a principle: Everyone should leave the event with new skills and knowledge – including our volunteers. You might learn how to build a grandstand or gain new insights into the accreditation systems that you can use in your next job. That’s why I’m so excited to meet you and include you as a vital part of this huge event we’ll create together in September 2025.”

– Mathilde Wadsholt Madsen, Volunteer Coordinator, EuroSkills 2025.

What to Expect as a Volunteer

As a volunteer, you will be part of either a small or large team, depending on the task you are assigned. You will never have to work alone but will always be in groups or pairs. Additionally, you will receive volunteer clothing and catering during your shift.

The tasks available for volunteers cover a wide range of areas. To give a clear overview, we have categorized them into different types. However, this is not an exhaustive list, and as a volunteer, you may be assigned various other tasks beyond those mentioned here:

  • Practical tasks: Ceremony runners, sign installation, and cloakroom assistance.
  • Hospitality tasks: Guides, info desk staff, and Team Attachés.
  • Setup tasks: Building competition stands, setting up computers, and painting.

Some tasks require specific professional experience. When you sign up, we will not only ask about your areas of interest in relation to volunteer work but also about your professional skills so we can match you with the most suitable volunteer role.
