During this occasion, Shaheen Khan, Founder Director of CEDP Skill Institute, said “Far too often, the incredible potential in the world’s youth population is wasted by extreme poverty, discrimination or lack of skills and information. Skills development is a primary means of enabling young people to make a smooth transition to work, education and training to make the difference for youth between poverty and employment.” We know education and training are key success factors in increasing youth’s access to decent work. Schools and businesses, working together, can provide skills development and workplace-based learning for the future of work. In this regard, we try to inspire a new generation of innovators for a better world with our SKILL REBELS program”.

To accelerate the pace of Skill Development in our country CEDP has evaluated various opportunities and is looking at scaling up the program and revisiting the gaps so that more youth from across the country can get better careers and self-employment opportunities.

Mr. Vasim Shaikh, President, CEDP Skill Institute, reiterated the need for industry to come forth and participate in these initiatives as it is the ultimate beneficiary of the skilled workforce. Highlighting some of the existing challenges with respect to constraint of resources and inadequate financial support, he emphasised on the necessity for private organisations to contribute through their Corporate Social Responsibility funds.
