JET Education Services celebrates World Youth Skills Day 2021 alongside UNESCO-UNEVOC

World Youth Skills Day

On 15 July 2021, JET Education Services and UNESCO-UNEVOC join the global celebrations to mark World Youth Skills Day (WYSD) and raise awareness about the importance of youth skills development! 

World Youth Skills Day 2021 will take place in a challenging context, with the continuation of the COVID-19 pandemic resulting in the widespread disruption of the TVET sector. While vaccination rollouts offer some hope, TVET still has a long road to recovery, especially in those countries which continue to be overwhelmed by the spread of the disease. Youth skills development will face a range of unfamiliar problems emerging from a crisis where training has been disrupted in an unprecedented manner on a virtually universal scale.
