With World Youth Skills Day having passed on 15 July, here are three ways to celebrate the young ones and their abilities.

1) Supporting or donating to youth workshops is one way to celebrate skills development, either through financial sponsorships or donations of equipment to enable these programs to reach more young people and boost their quality of training and resources.

2) Volunteering as a mentor is another way to support young people, providing guidance on topics such as IT, finance, carpentry, and healthcare can benefit children and young adults in future endeavours.

3) Participating in or personally organising a skills workshop is another way to celebrate the youth of today and their skills; this can be done through local libraries or community centres and can range from creative arts workshops to vocational training sessions.
