Why Skill Development and Employment Matter

Skill development is the cornerstone of economic progress and social transformation. It enables individuals to unlock their potential, enhances employability, and fuels entrepreneurship.

Key Facts:

  • Globally, over 250 million youth are unemployed or underemployed.
