On October 24, 2025, the second Ukrainian Electricians Championship, the Schneider Electric Cup, took place in Kyiv. The Electricians Championship is a competition aimed at bringing together the best professionals in the industry and promoting blue-collar professions.
Participants from different regions demonstrated their skills in practical tasks, competing for the title of the country’s best electrician. The event aimed to highlight the importance of the profession and attract young people’s attention to technical specialties.
This year, nine teams consisting of two to four participants selected based on the results of the preliminary stage (38 participants in total) competed in the championship. The teams included participants from Kharkiv, Kyiv, Odesa, Vinnytsia, Cherkasy, Khmelnytskyi, Zhytomyr, and Dnipro. They solved both theoretical tasks and a practical case study—assembling a modern professional electrical panel.
The event was organized by Schneider Electric, a leader in electrical management and automation, a global French company with 180 years of history, which has been present in Ukraine for over 30 years and is the largest electrical engineering company in Ukraine, together with the League of Masters, a community of professionals that brings together masters of various specialties to create a professional environment and promote blue-collar professions, as well as with the support of partner LAPP UKRAINE, a leader in innovation in cable and wire products, a company that offers a full range of solutions for electrical connections: from cables and connectors to ready-made systems and accessories.
“The Schneider Electric Cup is a combination of professionalism, technology, and passion for the business. We believe that the development of the energy industry begins with people — those who ensure the reliability, safety, and efficiency of electrical systems every day. By supporting such specialists, we are investing in the future of Ukraine, its energy sustainability, and sustainable development,” commented Mikhail Bubnov, CEO of Schneider Electric in Ukraine.
Compared to last year, the number of tasks was increased, and their complexity grew so that the masters could demonstrate their maximum potential. The winners and participants received not only valuable gifts, but also a unique experience, new acquaintances, and the thrill of real competition.
“It is important for us to create opportunities where electricians can demonstrate their knowledge and skills, experience team spirit, gain new experience, and learn about new technologies. The Schneider Electric Cup is not only a competition but also a celebration of the profession,” emphasized Maxim Sydorenko, leader of the Schneider Electric electricians channel.
In total, more than 500 participants from various construction industries took part in the Summit.
