In 2014, the United Nations General Assembly declared 15 July as World Youth Skills Day, to celebrate the strategic importance of equipping young people with skills for employment, decent work and entrepreneurship.

Inspired by World Youth Skills Day, in this episode of the podcast - Gina Visram encourages you to think about your skills (transferable and technical) and gives a few prompts which makes this an easy process. She also talks about a good question to ask yourself to help you establish a goal in terms of skills you would like to improve on (and no, this does not need to be every skill you lack!). 

This year's World Youth Skills Day theme is around "Reimagining youth skills post pandemic" - an entirely worthy topic upon which to reflect and where relevant, act.
