Others

• WorldSkills International (WSI): WorldSkills International is the global governing body for the biennial WorldSkills Competition and the parent federation of which WorldSkills IRAN is a member. Included as the upstream ecosystem authority rather than a competitive peer; comparable because WSI defines the standards and competition framework that WorldSkills IRAN adopts nationally.
