Global Youth Skills & Empowerment Alliance

The Global Youth Skills & Empowerment Alliance (GYSEA) is a flagship initiative by the International Vocational & Technical Education Development Forum (IVTEDF), dedicated to transforming the lives of youth in developing countries through skills-based empowerment, capacity building, and inclusive development.

Our Mission

To empower young individuals in developing regions by providing access to vocational training, entrepreneurship development, and employment pathways that foster self-reliance, innovation, and community impact.

Why GYSEA?

In many developing nations, millions of young people face:

• • High unemployment rates
  • Limited access to quality education
  • Social and economic marginalization
  • Lack of vocational or job-ready skills
