Korea Supporting Vocational Training to Cambodia’s Out-of-School Youths

30 April 2014

A world leading Hyundai Motor Company and Korea International Cooperation Agency (KOICA) in partnership with Plan and National Polytechnic Institute of Cambodia (NPIC) on 29 April kick-started auto mechanic skill training project for Cambodian youths with disadvantaged background from four municipality and provinces.

With the total cost of over US$600,000, the project is expected to secure decent work for at least 140 disadvantaged out of school youths for the first six months of its implementation, freeing them and their families from poverty cycle.

H.E. Pich Sophoan and the Ambassador of the Republic of Korea to Cambodia H.E. Kim Han Soo highlighted the good alignment of the assistance with that of the Cambodian and Korean governments to further build Cambodia’s human resources toward the ASEAN Economic Community ahead.

Cambodia is the 3rd country after Ghana and Indonesia where Hyundai and KOICA jointly fund such Dream Centre. It is an eleven-month project in Cambodia with possible extension. And Camko Motor will offer internship opportunity for three months to all the identified trainees.
