About the Press

Pact for Youth Open Access Publishing Platform

The Pact for Youth Association established and maintains this digital publishing platform as a Diamond Open Access publishing initiative dedicated to advancing knowledge, education and practice in skills development and related fields.

Our mission is to make high-quality educational and academic resources freely accessible to researchers, educators, students and practitioners, supporting knowledge exchange and the wider application of research-based insights. All publications are available free of charge, with no fees for authors or readers.

The platform publishes a diverse range of resources, including e-books, edited volumes, case study collections, research-based publications and other educational materials. We particularly value contributions that bridge academic knowledge and practical experience, encourage innovative approaches to learning and skills development, and address emerging challenges in education, employability and the changing world of work.

The publishing initiative operates in close collaboration with the GILE Journal of Skills Development (GJSD). Drawing on the journal's academic expertise and editorial experience, the platform aims to maintain equally high standards of academic quality, editorial integrity and educational relevance. Publications are subject to appropriate editorial and expert review processes, depending on their nature and format.

While the platform and the GJSD operate as distinct publishing initiatives, they share a commitment to open knowledge, academic quality and the advancement of skills development. Together, they contribute to the Pact for Youth Association's broader mission of fostering learning, research and collaboration across academic and professional communities.
