MOVING TVET TO THE TOP OF THE GLOBAL AGENDA
Over two exhilarating days, WorldSkills Conference 2024 drew 1,000 attendees, all focused on propelling TVET to the top of the global agenda and tackling urgent skills development challenges.
More than 30 Ministers and government representatives, joined business, education, industry leaders and young people to delve into pressing topics from gender equity and Artificial Intelligence (AI) to foundational skills, fragile economies, and skills for the green transition.
Their contributions helped elevate Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) on the global agenda and serve as a powerful reminder of what can be achieved when people around the world unite behind a shared vision.
We are building on that momentum from 2024, turning inspiration into action through practical best-practice sharing, stronger international cooperation, and a focus on scalable solutions that bring the global TVET agenda to life.
