The Importance of Youth Skills
On behalf of the Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ), UNESCO-UNEVOC, and Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) GmbH worked on a campaign to raise awareness of the importance of young skills for the future.
Youth Employment and Entrepreneurship
Entrepreneurial skills and attitudes must be taught to future generations because of the growing youth population, rising unemployment in many countries, and changes in the labor market and economy as a result of technology improvements.
UNESCO–UNEVOC has developed a practical guide on how to introduce entrepreneurial learning where it is lacking and how to mainstream it in vocational training to help TVET institutions form the entrepreneurial values that are important for young people’s lives, economic development, and sustainable society.
