World Youth Skills Day - 15 July
This year, WYSD will be celebrated under the theme of “Youth empowerment through AI and digital skills”. As the Fourth Industrial Revolution reshapes economies through Artificial Intelligence (AI), Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) must evolve to equip youth with future-ready skills. AI is transforming how we live, learn and work — but it also poses serious risks if not implemented equitably.
World Vision’s approach to adolescent and youth skills is based on positive identity and relationships, building on young people’s inherent capacity and agency to empower them to become active citizens and agents of change.
World Vision is committed to walking alongside young people as they prepare for and engage in the evolving social and economic challenges of their time. We are committed to leveraging AI and digital skills in equitable and quality ways to bring holistic learning to adolescents and youth.
