| AAFT Chancellor Spoke on World Youth Skills Day |
New Delhi: “We are one of the oldest
schools of skill development in India, it is now 27 years we have been training
students to learn the skills related to films, television, media, fashion,
design, animation, hospitality, tourism, still photography, journalism, PR
Events and Advertising, performing arts, fine arts and management. We had
realized much earlier that without knowing the arts and crafts of these
businesses youth will not be able to sustain in this field of competition,”
said Sandeep Marwah Chancellor of AAFT University and Ambassador of IHRO in a
webinar addressing youth of the country.
The
World Youth Skills Day is an opportunity for young people, technical and
vocational education and training institutions, and public and private sector
stakeholders to acknowledge and celebrate the importance of equipping young
people with skills for employment, decent work and entrepreneurship.
“World Youth Skills Day 2020 today is
being celebrated in a challenging context. The COVID-19 pandemic and lockdown
measures have led to the worldwide closure of technical and vocational
education and training institutions, threatening the continuity of skills
development. We are devising new methods of training and have to adopt them
till Corona Virus is out of our daily routine exercises,” added Dr. Marwah who
is also Patron to IFUNA- Indian Federation of United Nations Associations.
