How you can celebrate World Youth Skills Day

Find out how you can get involved in World Youth Skills Day and celebrate young people and skills!

July 15th is World Youth Skills Day! It’s a day to celebrate the importance of equipping young people with skills for employment, decent work, and entrepreneurship.

The United Nations introduced World Youth Skills Day to address the challenges of employment by opening communication, reducing barriers to the world of work and providing quality training, especially to those not in employment, education, or training.

Here’s how you can get involved:

Join the online event

Join the global webinar that will bring together youth, governments, UN agencies, private sector and civil society representatives to analyse the impact of current crises on youth across the world, and discuss how young people can quickly adapt to the demands of an ever-changing world.

Boost your skills with FREE Young Professional training

Studying, working, or looking for a job? Not sure what you want to do in life? If you’re aged 14-24 and ready to train your skills the way you’d train your muscles in a gym, you’re in.

With FREE Young Professional training you can boost your life and work skills such as communication, problem solving, self-belief, self-management, and teamwork! We’ll help you every step of the way, wherever you live in the UK.

Volunteer as a Youth Ambassador

Aged 16-24? Volunteer with Youth Employment UK and you’ll gain so much more than something great to put on your CV. (You’ll get that too.)

Our Youth Ambassadors are a dynamic team of volunteers helping to tackle some of the youth employment barriers young people experience.

Wherever you live, we’ll help you get involved in inspiring projects. Become a champion for other young people by going to events around the UK or volunteering online.
