In response to challenges of the new era, the United Nations Secretary-General has emphasised the crucial need for young people to enhance their skills for the burgeoning green and digital economies*.

Over the past year, CKC supported young people in Hue city with these critical skills, preparing them to make their significant impact on the world.

In fall – winter 2023, CKC contributed to improve energy management and auditing skills among lower secondary students through the ‘YEAH! – Promoting Energy Saving Practices for Students in Hue: Small Actions towards Environmental Protection‘ project funded by the Australian Volunteers International (AVI).

In spring – summer 2024, CKC continued with the journey to improve young people’s digital skills within the framework of the Data Science Explorers Program (ASEAN Data Science Explorers 2024) funded by the ASEAN Foundation. CKC organised 25 free training sessions on data analysis (Analytics Clouds) and application development (Apps Development) on the SAP platform for more than 1,100 young people between the ages of 15 and 30.

On World Youth Skills Day 2024 (July 15), themed ‘Youth Skills for Peace and Development,’ CKC proudly stands alongside Vietnam’s young generation, offering opportunities for learning and growth to inspire their development.
