On 19, 20 and 21 May, the Institut Cendrassos in Figueres hosted the ”SKILL 17 Web Development” competition as part of the Catskills 2025 championship, the event that selects the best talents from Catalan vocational training to represent Catalonia in SpainSkills, and potentially Spain in the international WorldSkills and EuroSkills competitions.
At SW Hosting, we wanted to be present and reinforce our role as a technology company committed to the educational and professional development of new generations. We have done so because we firmly believe that investing in young talent is investing in the future of the technology sector.
With over 25 years of experience offering business cloud solutions —from domains and hosting to dedicated servers and cloud hosting—, at SW Hosting we work with a clear purpose: to democratise access to professional technology with unbeatable prices and without compromising quality.
But our commitment to the educational ecosystem goes far beyond technology. For years, we have been working closely with numerous educational centres, donating dedicated physical servers, as in the case of the Institut Montilivi, a participant in this edition, as well as cloud infrastructure that allows students to work in real production environments.
In addition, our datacenter is always open to the educational world. Every year, we receive dozens of guided tours from educational centres, tailored to the students' studies and completely free of charge. These visits allow them to see, touch and understand the real infrastructure that supports the ‘cloud’ they work with every day, moving from theory to tangible experience.
In this edition of Catskills 2025, SW Hosting wanted to recognise the effort and dedication of all participants with prizes and gifts valued at over 1.000 €.
All students and their tutors have received an exclusive SWPanel mug, our web control panel, with inspiring quotes that represent real situations in the day-to-day life of the technology sector. They have also been given a corporate flyer, thanking them for their participation and conveying our vision and values as a company committed to the future of technology.
The top three winners received a cash prize accompanied by a free Cloud Hosting service for one year:
We would like to congratulate all participants for the high standard they demonstrated. Beyond the competition, these were days of learning, camaraderie and growth. Because competing is not incompatible with enjoying yourself, sharing and creating bonds that reinforce your passion for web development.
We would also like to extend our thanks to the Institut Cendrassos, an exemplary host who made us feel at home, and to the organisers at Catskills for their essential work in promoting events that make a real difference to students academic and professional careers.
At SW Hosting, we encourage all centres, organisations and competitions that share our values to work with us. We are firmly committed to the educational and professional development of young people. Education is the foundation of progress, and we want to be part of that journey.
