Skills Change Worlds
We are celebrating the impact that skilled young people are having on their own lives, our industries and economies, and our planet.
As we celebrate the collective strength of our community, we invite more people to join our global skills movement.
Every day, skills are transforming lives, industries, and worlds. We want to recognize the people who are working hard to create new opportunities through skills.
That’s why we are shining a light on the many voices and faces among our community. We want to tell their stories. We want to share the impact they are having. We want to show the life-changing benefits that vocational skills can offer.
Let these stories inspire you. Learn with us. Thrive with us. Excel with us.
We know we are stronger when we work together. We are more effective when we combine our expertise and energy together. We are making a difference, right now in our world.
