Hello everyone,

                        World Youth Skills Day (WYSD) 2020: It is observed on 15 July with an aim to raise awareness about the importance of technical, vocational education training and the development of other skills relevant to both local and global economies.
                          World Youth Skills Day (WYSD) 2020: Prime Minister Narendra Modi on the occasion of World Youth Skills Day which is celebrated on 15 July will deliver a video address. The Skill India Mission was launched 5 years ago on this day. Therefore, the day marks the 5th anniversary of the launch of Skill India Mission. Ministry of Skill Development and Entrepreneurship organized a digital conclave to mark the occasion.

This year World Youth Skills Day will take place in a challenging context due to 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. 

Every year World Youth Skills Day (WYSD) is celebrated on 15 July to recognize the strategic importance of equipping young people with the skills of employment, decent work, and entrepreneurship. The day also highlights the important role of skilled youth in addressing current and future global challenges.

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, currently, more than 1 in 6 young people are out of work. In such a time where young people are called upon to contribute to the recovery effort, it is necessary for them to be equipped with the skills to successfully manage upcoming challenges and therefore the resilience to alter to future disruptions.
