Skills Development Programme (SDP)
Technical and vocational education and training (TVET) to address the needs of the domestic labour market remains a key priority for the Cambodian government. With this last phase, training institutions and enterprises in 12 provinces will improve their capacities to equip disadvantaged youth with relevant skills and knowledge. At the same time, the governance and financing of the TVET system as a whole shall be strengthened, incl. through cooperation with the private sector.

Contexte |
A number of relevant TVET policies such as the Skills Development Roadmap are in place, providing a basic regulatory framework for building a skilled labour force in Cambodia. The capacities of relevant TVET institutions at different levels and the collaboration among them, however, remains weak. Training contents and delivery are not responding to the needs of employers, which themselves are often not in a position to meaningfully contribute to skills development by offering adequate in-company training opportunities or helping to define curricula. Green skills are not systemically included in vocational training. Competencies and coordination mechanisms at provincial level are insufficient. The overall governance and financing of the TVET sector at both national and sub-national levels is weak. Disadvantaged young people, in particular women, often quit their education already during secondary school, including in the SDP target provinces. Migration is one among other factors for such labour migration. With a low general education and with limited soft and technical skills, they can only find low-skilled jobs with little perspective for a decent income. Enrolling in formal TVET courses is therefore an important pathway to acquire relevant skills in a systematic manner and to access gainful employment. The capacities of public training institutions, incl. their collaboration with local companies, to provide market-oriented training courses need further improvement. This consolidation phase aims at leveraging the progress, knowledge and lessons acquired during the first two phases into the government system. |
Objectifs | Disadvantaged young women and men and low-skilled workers have better access to decent employment and increased income. |
Groupes cibles |
Primary target groups: Trainers, staff, management of TVET institutions; Provincial Training Boards (PTBs); trainers of the Provincial Departments of Tourism (PDoT); owners, managers and supervisory staff of hospitality establishments Secondary target groups: Young women and men from disadvantaged groups aged 15-35; low-skilled workers A total of 13,430 learners/trainees are expected to benefit from the project |
