World Youth Skills Day 2023

World Youth Skills Day takes place on July 15th, 2023. This year’s theme is ‘Skilling teachers, trainers and youth for a transformative future’ highlighting the essential role that teachers, trainers and other educators play in providing skills for youth to transition to the labour market and actively engage in their communities and societies.

The world is changing quickly and the careers of tomorrow will continue evolve, so it is essential that young people are prepared with adaptable skills and a mindset for lifelong learning.

The United Nations (UN) highlights the important role that technical and vocational education and training (VET) plays to meet these demands by “reducing access barriers to the world of work, ensuring that skills gained are relevant, recognized and certified, promoting green skills and practices, and offering skills development opportunities for youth who are not in education, employment and training.”
