World Youth Skills Day is a global event recognized on July 15 every year, including in the United States. The day was designated by the United Nations General Assembly in 2014, with the goal to celebrate the strategic importance of equipping young people with skills for employment, decent work, and entrepreneurship.
The day is relatively new compared to many international observances, having been established to address the challenges of unemployment and underemployment among youth globally. It highlights the need for skill development as a means to improve young people's transition to work.
In the United States, there are no specific traditions associated with World Youth Skills Day. However, various events such as workshops, educational fairs, policy discussions, and networking events are organized by educational institutions, non-profit organizations, government bodies, and corporations.
While not a public holiday in the U.S., World Youth Skills Day serves as an important reminder of the value of equipping young individuals with the skills necessary for today's dynamic job market.
