Africa’s young population is expected to double to over 830 million by 2050, creating significant opportunities for economic growth and innovation. Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) has the potential to unlock this opportunity by equipping African youth with the essential skills needed to drive the continent forward. To raise awareness about the incredible opportunities offered by TVET and to encourage young people to engage, AUDA-NEPAD, in partnership with Humana People to People, announced the launch of the “Africa Skills Revolution” initiative today through a webinar.
Inspired by the AU’s Year for Education 2024, the “Africa Skills Revolution” is a collective initiative consisting of an advocacy campaign aimed at challenging stereotypes around TVET and demonstrating the numerous opportunities it offers for interesting and fulfilling careers for Africa’s youth. Additionally, it includes a competition aimed at amplifying and celebrating the achievements and successes of young Africans in and through TVET.
