The International Telecommunication Union (ITU) and the International Labour Organisation (ILO) have launched a campaign to train five million young people globally by 2030. The announcement was made at the World Summit on the Information Society Forum 2017, which took place in Geneva, Switzerland, last week.
The “Digital Skills for Decent Jobs Campaign” is part of the “Global Initiative on Decent Jobs for Youth”, the first-ever, comprehensive United Nations system-wide effort for the promotion of youth employment worldwide.
“ITU is proud to be one of the founding members of the ‘Global Initiative on Decent Jobs for Youth’,” said ITU Secretary-General, Mr Houlin Zhao.
“The ‘Digital Skills for Decent Jobs for Youth Campaign’ seeks to encourage the global community to provide youth worldwide with digital skills training in order to foster decent and inclusive employment and entrepreneurship opportunities. Acquiring digital skills is crucial for young job seekers worldwide as it can lead to higher salaries and better employment conditions,” he added.
Mr Brahima Sanou, Director of the ITU Telecommunication Development Bureau (BDT) said: “Digital skills will connect young people with unprecedented job opportunities and contribute to the attainment of the Sustainable Development Goals.
