In 2014, the United Nations General Assembly declared July 15 as World Youth Skills Day to celebrate the strategic importance of equipping young people with the necessary skills for employment and enabling them to attain decent work, as well as encouraging them in entrepreneurship, according to the official United Nations website. The theme for World Youth Skills Day 2024, "Youth Skills for Peace and Development," emphasizes the vital role that youth play in building peace and resolving conflicts.
