Skills for the Future

This session will provide a platform for learning and collaboration between partners and organisations providing skills programmes. Decisions made today about education, workforce readiness, and social development will determine the level of resilience to future challenges, especially related to increasingly harsh climate conditions. As such, this session will focus on digital skills, green skills, and the inclusion of marginalised groups, including women and girls, and persons with disabilities.

The panel will talk to international contexts, particularly in the Middle East, and Africa, which is home to nearly 40 percent of the world's youth. Panellists will explore how to bridge the gap between education institutions and the job market, especially working with the private sector to create modern job pathways.
