Unlocking Potential: Empowering Teachers, Trainers and Youth

World Youth Skills Day, as noted by UN Secretary-General António Guterres, emphasizes the need of providing quality education, training, and skills to young people. This day honors the strategic importance of preparing people for work, entrepreneurship, and long-term growth.

It underlines the critical role of Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) in boosting employment, entrepreneurship, and gender equality by offering affordable access to skill development. TVET also promotes economic growth, green transitions, and sustainable development by meeting skill demands and lowering obstacles to entry for youth and low-skilled workers.

By empowering teachers with cutting-edge techniques and technology, we enable them to provide quality education that matches the demands of a constantly evolving world. Investing in youth skill development fosters their potential to become future leaders and change-makers capable of promoting innovation, entrepreneurship, and sustainable development.

Teachers and trainers play a vital part in leading pupils to success. They establish an atmosphere in which youth may develop the abilities required for a transformative future by adapting to the digital age and cultivating critical thinking, problem-solving, and creativity. Skilled teachers and trainers also serve as role models, encouraging young learners to embrace lifelong learning and flexibility.

Furthermore, skill development plays a vital role in fostering social inclusivity, empowering marginalized youth, and diminishing inequalities. By prioritizing and investing in skill development, we are laying the foundation for a prosperous, inclusive, and sustainable future that benefits everyone.
