We are thrilled to announce the successful Pre-departure Orientation for government officials from the Ministry of Environment (MoE) and the Ministry of Mines and Energy (MME)!
These dedicated leaders are heading to the Republic of Korea to gain world-class expertise in two vital areas:
1. Sustainable Waste Management: Building a "Circular Economy" to keep Cambodia clean and green.
2. Fuel Quality & Distribution: Ensuring better car fuel standards and energy security for all citizens.
By sharing Korea’s technical "know-how," we aren't just teaching skills—we are building a foundation for sustainable social development, public health, and economic growth in Cambodia.
A huge thank you to the MoE and MME representatives for their active engagement and commitment to bringing these innovations back home!

Korea & Cambodia: Shaping the Future of Skilled Talent!

KOICA and the Ministry of Labour and Vocational Training (MLVT) have officially launched a landmark USD 9.5 million partnership to transform technical education in Cambodia. This partnership was kicked off through a signing ceremony for the Record of Discussion on April 20, 2026, for the “Project for Skilled Workforce Development to Meet Industry Demands”.

The project will be implemented from 2026 to 2030. The project plays a key role in bridging the gap between the classroom and the fast-paced demands of the modern global market through two objectives. First, it focuses on modernizing essential training hubs—specifically NPIC, ITI, and PPI—by renovating workshops and upgrading training materials and equipment to ensure students learn on the same state-of-the-art equipment used in Korea’s top industrial zones. Second, the project aims to turn "Brain Drain" into "Brain Gain" by linking students to both local and overseas job opportunities, while linking returning migrant workers through the government-led Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) process. By certifying their expert skills, the initiative empowers returnees to transition into high-level domestic roles or launch their own successful SME businesses right here at home.

🇰🇷🤝🇰🇭 Shaping Cambodia’s Future: 2026 Training Programs Kick-off!

Phnom Penh, April 10, 2026: KOICA officially welcomed two groups of dedicated professionals at the Online Orientation for our 2026 Training Programs. These candidates are preparing to depart for South Korea to gain world-class expertise that will drive the development of our nation.

🏥 Strengthening Healthcare (Ministry of Health)

Sixteen candidates are entering their third year of the "Capacity Building for Training of Trainers on Advanced Infection Prevention and Control (IPC)". Their mission focuses on:

- Raising Awareness: Elevating the importance of infection prevention in our healthcare system.
- Building Master Trainers: Strengthening the capacity to manage and prevent infectious diseases.
- Strategic Intervention: Improving IPC performance across all hospitals.

🌤️ Mastering the Skies (MoWRAM)

Two candidates from the Ministry of Water Resources and Meteorology are joining a special program for "Capacity Building for Operational Weather Forecasters". They will focus on:

- Analytical Strength: Mastering data from satellites, radar, and numerical predictions.
- Public Service: Enhancing weather services to protect the lives and livelihoods of our citizens.

"The knowledge you acquire in Korea is not just for personal growth; it is the raw power that will drive the development of our nation."

Upon their return, these professionals will be the catalysts for change—implementing new safety protocols and providing high-precision alerts to build a more resilient Cambodia.

Congratulations to all selected candidates! We wish you a safe and productive journey ahead. ✈️🇰🇷
