The World Youth Skills Day is celebrated on July 15 every day. In 2014, the United Nations announced that July 15 will be celebrated as World Youth Skill Day to create awareness for the youths about the importance of having the required skills sets for the job at hand. In addition, this day seeks to celebrate the strategic importance of equipping young people with the skills necessary for employment, decent work and entrepreneurship.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As per the United Nations, technological advancements and shifting labour market dynamics increasingly demands agile and adaptable skill sets. It added that it is necessary to empower young people to navigate these changes effectively. Furthermore, technical and vocational education and training (TVET) is well placed to meet these demands by minimizing access barriers to the world of work,ascertaining that skills gained are relevant, recognised and certified, thereby prompting green skills and practices and offering skill development opportunities for the youth who are not in education, employment and training. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The United Nations declared that the theme for the World Youth Skills Day 2023 is skilling trainers and youth for a transformative future. Reports stated that the World Youth Skills Day 2023 theme emphasizes on the pivotal role that teachers, trainers and other educators play in facilitating skills for youth to transition to the labour market and eventually engage in their communities and societies. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Notably, a year after the United Nations declared July 15, as World Youth Skills Day, Prime Minister Narendra Modi launched the Skill India Mission. With an aim of training more than forty crore people in diverse skills by 2022, Skill India Mission was introduced on July 15, 2015. Reportedly, the Centre is looking forward to introducing a revamped version of its Skill India initiative with an objective to train young minds in the country with future ready skills. Past year, the government had invited ideas for the Skill India 2.0 in an attempt to create a reliable and qualified workforce and also assist the youth to tap into new opportunities.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
