The Ministry of Youth is committed to equipping young Zambians with the practical skills and knowledge needed to thrive in today’s economy. Through a nationwide network of vocational training institutes, youth resource centres, and targeted workshops, we provide opportunities for young people to develop hands-on experience in trades, technology, agriculture, entrepreneurship, and more.

Our vocational training programmes offer certified courses in carpentry, tailoring, welding, hospitality, ICT, and other in-demand sectors—designed to prepare youth for both employment and self-employment. At the same time, our youth resource centres serve as safe, inclusive spaces where young people can access mentorship, learning materials, and career guidance.

We also promote skills-sharing workshops, community outreach programmes, and volunteer opportunities that build leadership, confidence, and civic responsibility among youth. These initiatives are tailored to address local challenges while fostering personal growth and social impact.

Whether you’re just starting out, looking to upgrade your skills, or seeking ways to give back, the Ministry provides a wide range of development pathways to help you unlock your potential and build a better future.
