World Youth Skills Day

World Youth Skills Day is an annual United Nations observance day that is celebrated on July 15th to raise awareness about the importance of developing the skills of young people around the world.

The day was established in 2014 by the United Nations General Assembly to recognize the critical role that skills development plays in empowering young people, reducing unemployment, and promoting sustainable economic growth.

The theme of World Youth Skills Day varies from year to year, but it typically focuses on issues related to skills development, youth employment, and the changing nature of work in the 21st century.

The day is marked by a range of events and activities around the world, including conferences, workshops, and training sessions aimed at improving the skills of young people. These events are often organized by governments, educational institutions, and youth organizations.

World Youth Skills Day is an opportunity to recognize the potential of young people to drive economic growth and social development and to support their efforts to build the skills and knowledge they need to succeed in the modern workforce. It also highlights the need for greater investment in skills development programs and initiatives to ensure that young people are equipped to meet the challenges of the future.
