World Youth skills Day will be celebrated next week on July 15. Designated by the UN General Assembly in 2014, the day provides a unique opportunity for dialogue towards acknowledging and celebrating the importance of equipping young people with skills for employment, decent work and entrepreneurship. 

The theme for this year is ‘Transforming Youth Skills for the Future’. Events in honour of the day tend to involve opportunities to provide young people with spaces for dialogue with educational institutions, employers, policymakers, and development partners. The up-skilling of the youth has become increasingly important in light of the world slowly shifting to sustainable development.
