The United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) has launched the Global Skills Academy, which offers online courses for young people to support employability and skills. The Academy will operate through a matching process coordinated by the UNESCO-UNEVOC Center. Details of available trainings will be shared with the 250 UNESCO-UNEVOC Centres in over 160 Member States.
“The crisis has highlighted the urgency of equipping young people with the right skills to accelerate the transition to more inclusive, sustainable and resilient economies. This requires massive investment in education and training, as well as expanded partnerships with employers to bridge the gap between skills demand and workplaces,” said Stefania Giannini, UNESCO Assistant Director-General for Education.
