World Youth Skills Day Quote from Jaimy Thomas, Co-founder & Chief Delivery Officer, Experion Technologies
“The defining skill of the future may not be the ability to use technology adeptly, but the ability to give it direction. As AI reshapes work, industries, and decision-making, young people will need more than technical skills, tools, or certifications. The real differentiator will be the ability to understand problems deeply, ask better questions, collaborate across disciplines, and apply technology with judgment, creativity, and purpose.
At Experion, we see this every day. We have built solutions that support elderly care, help farmers make better decisions, enable safer roads through intelligent transportation systems, strengthen digital learning experiences, and support time-critical healthcare workflows such as organ donation. Each of these solutions reinforces a belief we hold strongly, that technology becomes truly powerful only when it is guided by empathy, engineered with responsibility, and applied to problems that matter.
That is the mindset young people need for a better future, and it is exactly what World Youth Skills Day calls us to emphasise. AI should not be seen only as a tool to use, but as a capability young people must learn to question, direct, and build with. I believe the skills that will matter most are those that make young people not just employable, but ready to lead, solve, and shape a more intelligent, inclusive, and humane future.”
