World Youth Day
VIDIYAL conducted World Youth Day at its head office in Rasingapuram. The resource persons talked the following key points.
Providing skills training for youth should be a key component in promoting secure livelihoods. Young people must be given the chance to develop the practical, intellectual and social skills that will serve them throughout their lives.
Whilst they hope for a bright future - a good job, a family, fulfillment and respect – they often have to put their own future on hold to support their families. Vocational training is often their most practical option. This article assesses the skills youth need to develop secure livelihoods and suggests how skills learning and practical opportunities should be organized.
There is often a conflict between the livelihood skills young people want to learn, what they need to learn for sustainable future employment and what is currently in demand in labour markets. Youth must tailor their ambitions to market realities. Young people must rely on a ‘value-added approach’ : first seeing what products and services people are paying for and then imagining what added value the potential entrepreneur could add at little risk.
