Battambang: In a spirit of high concern for the livelihoods of citizens as well as the socio-economic development, the Ministry of Labor and Vocational Training, through the Labor, Social Security and Vocational Training Forum, has continued to bring 4,700 job opportunities, benefits of the B.S.C. and TVET programs were distributed to more than 400 local people, especially former workers from Thailand and young people looking for work, at the Ek Phnom District School, Battambang Province, on the morning of July 18, 2026.
Speaking at a forum under the theme “Khmer help find jobs and provide jobs for Khmer,” Mr. San Kimhong, Undersecretary of State His Excellency Heng Sour, Minister of Labor and Vocational Training, said that these more than 4,000 job opportunities are among more than 92,000 job opportunities across the country that the Ministry of Labor has collected from enterprises, companies, and factories and brought to the grassroots for people to register, interview, and get jobs immediately. The Royal Government, the Ministry of Labor, and authorities at all levels are truly happy when people have jobs that help ease family burdens and promote socio-economic development.
He emphasized that all types of work have the same value, and local work in enterprises, companies, and factories is very important for directly helping to build the national economy and provide happiness to families. In addition to wages and many other benefits, you also receive benefits from the National Social Security Fund (NSSF), such as: occupational risk insurance, healthcare, and pensions, just like civil servants, from the age of 60 and up. In contrast, migrant workers in Thailand face safety risks, labor exploitation, lack of health protection, violence, discrimination, and the inability to live together with family.
In case they want to work abroad, he encourages former workers to register to work in other countries that offer higher salaries and security than Thailand. Meanwhile, for those who already have construction skills but do not have a certification, the ministry has also implemented a pre-qualification test to obtain an official certification. In addition, both former workers and youth can also enroll in free technical skills training courses through the 1.5 million TVET program with many study options such as: construction, mechanical repair, electrical equipment, air conditioning, baking, coffee making, and salon. After graduation, you can use these skills to create your own business.
At the same time, he also encouraged you to continue to spread the word about job opportunities and benefits of the B.S.S. and TVET programs to family members, relatives and friends, especially through social media.
