In 2014, the United Nations General Assembly declared 15 July as World Youth Skills Day, to celebrate the strategic importance of equipping young people with skills for employment, decent work and entrepreneurship.
Since then, World Youth Skills Day events have provided a unique opportunity for dialogue between young people, technical and vocational education and training institutions, firms, employers’ and workers’ organisations, policy makers and development partners.
Participants have highlighted the ever-increasing significance of skills as the world is embarking on a transition towards a sustainable model of development.
