World Youth Skills Day 2021
The United Nations General Assembly declared July 15 as World Youth Skills Day (WYSD) in 2014 to celebrate the strategic importance of equipping young people with skills for employment, decent work, and entrepreneurship. The day provides a unique opportunity for dialogue between young people, technical and vocational education and training (TVET) institutions, firms, employers, policymakers, etc. The Skill India Mission was also launched on this day, July 15.
This year, World Youth Skills Day takes place in a challenging context due to the COVID-19 pandemic and lockdown measures that have led to the worldwide closure of technical and vocational training education and training (TVET) institutions, alarming the vitality of skills development.
