At the same time, the competition encourages young people to focus on technical areas and aims to contribute to the training of individuals capable of supporting Türkiye's production capacity.
The competition takes place in 9 different categories that address different areas of the industry. The competition covers the categories of welding, carpentry, plumbing, electrical installation and panel assembly, electrical panel design and application, circuit board assembly, mechatronic technologies, medium voltage technologies and intelligent factory systems programming. Participants can demonstrate their professional skills through applications that are close to real working conditions.
The Plumbing category evaluates knowledge and skills in project design, installation, maintenance and repair of indoor clean water and wastewater systems, while the PCB Assembly category emphasizes applications related to assembling and soldering electronic components to circuit boards.
In the medium voltage technologies category, safe operation, error detection and maneuvering processes in energy infrastructures are discussed and in the mechatronic technologies category, competencies in the areas of electrical electronics, automation and PLC programming are measured.
The Carpentry category highlights design, production and craftsmanship skills, while the Welding category focuses on industry standard welding practices.
While electrical installation and panel mounting applications are evaluated in accordance with IEC standards in the Electrical Installation and Panel Mounting category, knowledge of motor control systems and energy efficiency competes in the Electrical Panel Design and Application category.
In the “Smart Factory Systems Programming” category, participants’ skills in industrial automation are tested in the context of PLC-controlled production lines, image processing systems, robotic applications and autonomous transport technologies.
