World Youth Skills Day: The Skills Young People Say Matter Most

What skills will prepare today's youth for tomorrow's workforce?

According to UNESCO-UNEVOC International Centre for TVET 2026 Global Youth Survey, young people say success requires more than technical expertise. They identified a combination of:
