ILO Completes Training to Enhance Workforce Competitiveness in Cambodia
The International Labour Organization (ILO) has concluded a four-day training course in Siem Reap, Cambodia, aimed at improving skills development, employment strategies, and active labor market policies. The event, which began on March 30, was attended by Lim Suy Hong, Under Secretary of State at the Ministry of Labour and Vocational Training, and ILO representatives. The training brought together 40 policymakers and social partners to address challenges in labor policy, particularly focusing on the informal economy and the low skill levels of the workforce. The program supports the development of policies promoting decent work and social justice, aligning with Cambodia's goal of graduating from Least Developed Country status by 2029. Mary Kent, a skills and employability specialist at ILO Cambodia, emphasized the importance of evidence-based policymaking in addressing complex issues such as employment generation and labor market transitions.
