2021年格拉茨欧洲技能大赛闭幕式上，来自19个国家的400多名选手登上了领奖台。他们因全身心投入追求卓越技能而获得喝彩。
Over 400 Competitors from 19 countries were celebrated at EuroSkills Graz 2021 for their determination and commitment to skills excellence.
每项技能都有着大量的设备和后勤需求，因此技能竞赛的举办本就是极具挑战性的。况且，因为新冠疫情，大赛从2020年推迟到2021年。同时旅行和疫情限制带来的持续挑战为活动的规划和筹备增加了额外的困难。
Skills competitions are challenging events to host due to the extensive equipment and logistical requirements needed for each skill. However, the pandemic postponing the European championships from 2020 to 2021, and ongoing challenges of travel and COVID-19 restrictions added additional difficulties in planning and preparing for the event.
9月26日，当组织者、志愿者、成员国、培训师和参赛者聚集在一起参加闭幕式时，所有的辛勤工作都受到了表彰。
All the hard work was celebrated as the organizers, volunteers, Member countries, trainers, and Competitors gathered for the Closing Ceremony.
2021年格拉茨欧洲技能大赛赛期为5天，第1天是开幕式，紧接着是3天的比赛，最后1天为闭幕式。在闭幕式上，组委会向得分最高的选手分别颁发了金牌、银牌、铜牌以及其他的一些奖项。
EuroSkills Graz 2021 took place over five days, beginning with an Opening Ceremony, followed by three days of competitions, and concluding with a Closing Ceremony where awards including gold, silver, and bronze medals were presented to the highest scoring Competitors.

为了表彰前欧洲技能组织和世界技能组织主席乔斯·德·戈伊（Jos de Goey）对技能发展的长期奉献，欧洲最佳选手奖（the Best of Europe Award）便以他的名字重新命名了。
乔斯·德·戈伊的妻子阿诺斯卡•德•乔•希尔（Anouschka de Goey-Seur）和施蒂利亚经济商会会长约瑟夫·赫克（Josef Herk）将2021年“乔斯·德·戈伊最佳选手奖”授予俄罗斯的艾尔达·赛达梅托（Eldar Seidametov）和弗拉迪斯拉夫·迪巴诺（Vladislav Diubanov）。
In recognition of the longstanding commitment to skills development by former WorldSkills Europe and WorldSkills President Jos de Goey, the Best of Europe Award was renamed in his honour. The Jos de Goey Best in Europe Award 2021 was presented to Eldar Seidametov and Vladislav Diubanov of Russia by Jos’ wife, Anouschka de Goey-Seur, and Josef Herk, President Styrian Economic Chamber.
永不言弃，坚定与技能同行
没有什么人会比那些对自己的技能、行业、专业和未来进行投资的年轻人更强大的了。今天，我感到很荣幸。我很自豪地对你们所有人说，谢谢。你们的表现让欧洲技能组织感到振奋。你们是耀眼新星，你们中的每一个人都代表着欧洲技能组织的精神。这种精神就是“永不言弃，坚定地与技能同行”。这就是我们想向全欧洲的年轻人传递的信息。

“There is nothing more powerful than young people who are deeply invested in their skills, trades, professions, and their futures,” said Josef Herk. “Today I feel honoured. I feel proud to say thank you to all of you. You have rocked EuroSkills. You are the stars and every one of you stands for the spirit of EuroSkills. This spirits says ‘Don’t give up. Be strong and be a part of it.’ This is the message we wanted to send to young people all over Europe.”
闭幕式结束时，赛旗被传给了下一届欧洲技能大赛主办方——俄罗斯，并揭晓：2023年8月16日至20日，将在圣彼得堡举办该届欧洲技能大赛。
The Closing Ceremony concluded with the passing of the flag to the next host WorldSkills Russia, presenting EuroSkills St Petersburg 2023, 16-20 August 2023.
2021年格拉茨欧洲技能大赛是欧洲技能组织发起的第七届欧洲技能大赛，也是第一次在奥地利举办。主办这次大赛不仅证明了奥地利持续致力于将技能发展、职业技术教育置于国家和欧洲议程的重要位置，而且还证明了奥地利拥有对表彰欧洲最有才华、最优秀的年轻专业技能人才们杰出成就的热情和激情。
EuroSkills Graz 2021 is the seventh EuroSkills event initiated by WorldSkills Europe, and the first to take place in Austria. Hosting the event is not only proof of Austria’s sustained commitment to keep TVET and skills at the top of national and European agendas, but also its passion to honour and shine a spotlight on the outstanding achievements of the most talented young professionals in Europe.
