One Young World - Young People Lead2030 Challenge for Quality Education

One Young World - Young People Lead2030 Challenge for Quality Education

Education is a cornerstone of sustainable development – it empowers and uplifts individuals, nations, and society. However, millions of people around the world are held back from achieving their full potential. Investing in education and skills is the answer. It is the foundation of opportunity and progress and creates better futures for all.

Our future innovators, entrepreneurs, and leaders will need new skills to help us meet the challenges of tomorrow. Unfortunately, today, 800 million youth are not going to have even the basic skills to succeed in the workforce by 2030. Educational inequality was a global challenge well before COVID, but the pandemic has further widened the learning gap.

At Deloitte, we are committed to expanding opportunities for 100 million people by 2030 by developing job skills, improving educational outcomes, and providing opportunities for individuals from underrepresented and marginalized groups around the world.

In line with this ambition, Deloitte is proud to support the Lead2030 Challenge for SDG4 for the fourth year. Working together, we can accelerate innovative youth-led solutions to achieve inclusive, equitable, and quality education for all.

In line with Deloitte’s ambition to prepare 100 million futures for a world of opportunity by 2030, the challenge seeks to support scalable youth-led solutions that:

Utilize innovative approaches and technology

Address root causes of the issue

Demonstrate ability to drive impact and potential to scale

Recognize existing efforts and collaborate with others to accelerate impact

Facilitate opportunities for collective impact, by engaging a wide-range of stakeholders

Improve the quality of, or access to, education and skills training that prepares young people to succeed

The challenge is open to young people from social enterprises, non-profits, or community organizations.

Note: projects need to be based where Deloitte has a presence.

The solutions should drive impact in at least one of the following areas:

Create skills development or lifelong learning opportunities for young people to prepare for the future workforce.

Accelerate entrepreneurial skills and develop a new generation of job creators.

Improve access to education and skills opportunities for those that may be left behind by the rapidly changing global economy.

Support digital skills and adoption of technologies to empower learners’ access to education and skills development opportunities.
