**UNHCR Highlights Importance of Empowering Refugee Youth Through Education and Skills Training**
The United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) has reaffirmed its commitment to supporting young refugees by providing them with essential education and skills training. Emphasizing the transformative potential of youth and the crucial role of skill development, the agency called for greater investment in young people to create brighter, more self-reliant futures.
In a statement, UNHCR celebrated the achievements and aspirations of refugee youth, underlining the impact that access to education, vocational training, and life skills can have on their lives. The agency highlighted that empowering young refugees not only benefits the individuals themselves, but also contributes to stronger, more resilient communities.
UNHCR urged stakeholders and the broader public to invest in youth and their development. The organization believes that supporting refugee youth lays the foundation for social and economic progress, both within refugee populations and the host societies in which they live.
