„Noor Meister 2011” (Young Master) skills competition took place on December 1-2 as part of the Information Seminar „Teeviit“ (Road Sign). Young professionals competed in 12 specialties: electronics, mechatronics, IT technology, landscape gardening and design, cleaning service, ladies`/mens` hairdressing, tiling, painting and decorating, graphical design, electrical installation, fashion design and floristry.

The objective of the two day competition is to offer young VET students an opportunity to compare their knowledge and skills with other students studying the same specialty and to find out the best in Estonia who could compete on the international arena. The young masters give a hands-on demonstration on what can be studied in different VET schools all over Estonia, thus study opportunities in VET are also promoted. In parallel with the competitions a programme is running on the stage, several performers entertain the audience with music, beauty care, fashion created by VET students, etc.
