Pathways to Prosperity: Solutions for Youth Skills and Livelihoods

As the largest generation of youth comes of age, how can the global community rise to meet their aspirations and unlock their potential to lead change, fuel economies, and shape a more just and sustainable future – join us for this important discussion to learn more!  To mark World Youth Skills Day on July 15, Generation Unlimited (GenU) is launching a new Executive Report: Pathways to Prosperity: Solutions for Youth Skills and Livelihoods. The report brings together insights from across the GenU public, private, and youth partnership to surface solutions for one of the most pressing development challenges of our time: securing sustainable livelihoods for the world’s largest-ever youth cohort. This YouthForesight webinar will feature panelists and speakers from across the GenU partnership who will share their insights and experiences, in line with the findings from the Report. The webinar will highlight the urgent need to align learning systems with labour market demands, remove structural barriers—especially for young women—and ensure youth are not left behind by rapidly advancing technology and global shifts. The session will also explore the central Calls to Action outlined in the report, stressing the importance of youth co-leadership, multisectoral alignment, and innovative financing to scale meaningful, long-term change. From empowering youth-led entrepreneurship and investing in localised, inclusive approaches to generating better evidence and building stronger, responsive ecosystems, the webinar will highlight that supporting the transition from learning to earning is a collective responsibility.  Objectives: -To introduce findings and key insights from the GenU Exec Report: Pathways to Prosperity: Solutions for Youth Skills and Livelihoods -To explore the opportunities and challenges of enabling Learning-to-Earning pathways for youth; -To share promising practices from the implementation of Learning-to-Earning solutions from across GenU’s Public, Private and Youth partners; Audience:  Open webinar for technical practitioners working across multilateral, non-government, and civil society organisations with a background and/or interest in supporting youth Learning-to-Earning solutions.
