World Youth Skills Day 2022: World Youth Skills Day is celebrated every year on 15 July. The sole purpose of this day is to provide necessary skills to the youth across the world so that they can get employment. The day helps in spreading awareness about the importance of skills in getting good job opportunities.
World Youth Skills Day 2022 is being observed at a time when all countries are still working on socio-economic recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic. Therefore, it can serve as a platform for the economic benefits that the nation can gain by training the youth.
This year’s theme is Transforming Youth Skills for the Future.
World Youth Skills Day: History
The United Nations General Assembly declared 15 July as World Youth Skills Day in December 2014. Its aim was to improve the socio-economic conditions for today’s youth and to address the challenge of unemployment. Since the inception of World Youth Skills Day, it has facilitated interaction between young people, technical and vocational education and training (TVET) institutions, businesses, governments and development partners.
World Youth Skills Day: Significance
The day is significant as it provides employment, higher income levels and better opportunities for lifelong learning to the new generation. World Youth Skills Day encourages the eradication of gender inequality and ensuring that disadvantaged people have access to resources.
The ideal way to celebrate World Youth Skills Day would be to reflect, brainstorm and debate how we can meet the skilling needs of countries like India, which has a rapidly growing working population.
