World Youth Skills Day
July 15th 2022
Today, July 15th is World Youth Skills Day. The United Nations established this day to recognize the significance of providing young people with options for employment, dignified work, and entrepreneurship. Since then, this day has served as a forum for discussion among young people, technical and vocational education and training (TVET) institutions, businesses, employer and worker groups, policymakers, and development partners.
The COVID-19 pandemic has challenged the youth. The goal of this year’s "World Youth Skills Day" is to attempt to recover from the pandemic, which is intertwined with issues like climate change, violence, persistent poverty, growing inequality, fast technological development, demographic shift, and others.
