World Youth Skills Day, 2016 will be observed in the country today as elsewhere across the globe, aiming to raise awareness among the youths over skill development to address the challenges of unemployment and under employment, reports UNB.
A discussion will be held at the Secretariat of Bangladesh National Skills Development Council (NSDC), marking the day. State Minister for Labour and Employment Md Mujibul Haque is expected to be present at the discussion as the chief guest.
Every year, the United Nations observes the World Youth Skills Day on July 15. This year, the United Nations is observing the day with a special event on the theme of “Skills Development to Improve Youth Employment.”
Understanding what works to support young people in today’s and tomorrow’s labor market through training and skills development will be key to the achievement of the 2030 Agenda, and will be at the centre of this high-level event.
The event will be facilitated by the UN Envoy on Youth, Ahmad Alhendawi, and will feature opening remarks from the UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon. The event is co-organised with the Permanent Missions of Portugal and Sri Lanka to the United Nations, UNESCO, and the International Labour Organization (ILO).
