We are celebrating ten years since the United Nations General Assembly proclaimed World Youth Skills Day—a decade of recognizing the critical importance of equipping young people with the skills they need for employment, entrepreneurship and active participation in society.  \nWe also mark the fifth anniversary of the Global Skills Academy, launched in 2020 under the Global Education Coalition to close skills gaps and empower learners for a rapidly changing world.  \nWith over 230 partners in 150 countries, the GSA has supported 1.8 million learners with training in digital and green skills, tailored to local needs.  \nYet even as we celebrate these achievements, we cannot ignore the challenges.  \nToday, an estimated 450 million young people worldwide lack the skills they need to succeed in employment, entrepreneurship or further education, according to the World Bank. This figure speaks to the urgent need for action.  \nDigital transformation, climate change, demographic shifts and economic uncertainty are reshaping the future of work. Automation and AI alone could displace over 90 million jobs by 2030, even as they create new roles that demand entirely different skills.  \nEducation and training systems have too often struggled to keep pace. Many young people still leave school without the foundational, digital or transversal skills they need to thrive.  \nMarginalized groups—including girls, rural youth, refugees and learners with disabilities—face especially steep barriers to accessing quality training and opportunities. And in many places, technical and vocational education remains wrongly seen as a ","cbCairSUFOZN8urp","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCairSUFOZN8urp","pdf",5561257,28,"English","# Foreword\n# Introduction\n# Methodology\n# Context and purpose\n# Key insights\n# Respondent overview\n# Perceptions and experiences with AI\n## AI usage in education (learning and training)\n## Access to digital and AI resources\n## Skills for an AI-driven future of work\n## Main barriers to AI and digital skills learning\n## Ethical considerations\n## Discussion areas\n# Conclusions and recommendations\n# Future considerations","[{\"question\":\"What milestones does the foreword emphasize?\",\"answer\":\"The foreword marks ten years since the UN General Assembly proclaimed World Youth Skills Day and the fifth anniversary of the Global Skills Academy launched in 2020.\"},{\"question\":\"Why does the report say action is urgent?\",\"answer\":\"It cites the World Bank estimate that about 450 million young people worldwide lack skills needed for employment, entrepreneurship, or further education.\"},{\"question\":\"What education and training changes does the report recommend?\",\"answer\":\"It calls for reimagining education systems to be inclusive and future-ready by modernizing curricula with digital, green and soft skills, expanding work-based learning, strengthening career guidance, and bridging the digital divide.\"}]","UNESCO-UNEVOC International Centre for Technical and Vocational Education and Training - Foreword | PDF",1792063250,71]
