Embassy of the Kingdom of the Netherlands celebrates World Youth Skills Day – Roya News English

July 15th of every year marks one of the lesser known, albeit significant, international days. World Youth Skills Day celebrates the importance of equipping young people with skills for employment, decent work and entrepreneurship. It provides an opportunity for governments, policy makers, TVET institutions and development partners to shed light on the importance of technical and vocational education and training (TVET) in equipping young people with the skills required for the future. World Youth Skills Day 2021 will pay tribute to the resilience and creativity of youth through the Covid-19 crisis.

The Embassy of the Kingdom of the Netherlands together with UNICEF, ILO and the Technical and Vocational Skills Development Commission launched a week-long social media campaign to shed light on the importance of TVET, celebrate examples of successful Jordanian youth who make a good living after having graduated from TVET programmes, as well as provide resources for those who are interested in knowing more.
