World Youth Skills Day, celebrated annually on July 15, is a day dedicated to recognizing the importance of equipping young people with skills for employment, decent work, and entrepreneurship. Established by the United Nations General Assembly in 2014, the day underscores the critical role of skilled youth in addressing global challenges such as poverty, unemployment, and inequality.
It highlights the need for educational institutions, governments, and industries to collaborate in providing training and opportunities that align with current and future market demands. By fostering an environment where youth can develop technical and vocational skills, the day aims to promote sustainable development and economic growth, ensuring that young people can contribute meaningfully to their communities and the world.
