Pailin-Battambang: In order to continue to improve living standards and increase income-generating opportunities for citizens, especially young people and former workers from Thailand, the Ministry of Labor and Vocational Training continued to bring information and practical job opportunities to the grassroots through a forum on employment, social security and vocational training held at the Sala Krao district school complex, Pailin province, under the presence of Mr. Lao Him, Secretary of State of the Ministry of Labor and Vocational Training, on Saturday morning, September 26, 2026. Similarly, at the Koh Keo temple complex (Old Talas Temple) in Maung Russey district, Battambang province, under the presence of Ms. Khlok Pengthol, Undersecretary of State of the Ministry of Labor and Vocational Training. The forum was attended by over 1,000 people and provided them with important information about over 4,000 job opportunities, National Social Security (NSS) benefits, and TVET programs to help job seekers get clear information and make informed decisions about job opportunities based on factual information.
Speaking at the forum under the theme “Khmer Help Find Jobs and Provide Jobs for Khmer”, a senior official from the Ministry of Labor highlighted that the Royal Government has paid attention to promoting the creation of and promote job opportunities to improve people’s livelihoods and contribute to promoting national economic growth, with the Ministry of Labor and Vocational Training as the coordinator. In fact, there are currently tens of thousands of local job opportunities in enterprises, companies, and factories across the country where you can register, interview, and work to create a decent and stable income in the country.
Local work not only provides decent wages and benefits, but you can also receive protection from the C.S.R., including occupational hazards, health care, and pensions, and can live and work close to a warm family. On the contrary, illegal migration can expose you to safety risks, labor exploitation, lack of health care, discrimination, and living away from your family. Therefore, getting clear information and choosing a legal job is an important basis for secure employment, stable income, and social protection.
At the same time, the Ministry has provided opportunities for youth, former workers, and citizens to register to learn technical skills, both hard and soft skills, for free through the TVET program of 1.5 million, as well as receive monthly subsidies for poor and vulnerable families at provincial polytechnic institutes, with flexible study hours and a variety of skill options such as construction, refrigeration repair, electrical appliances, baking, coffee making, and beauty services, so that you can use your skills to find a job, practice a profession, or increase your income. For former workers with construction experience and skills, the ministry has also organized the Recognition of Prior Practice (RPL) test to obtain an official skills certificate, which can help increase the value of skills and expand job opportunities.
Meanwhile, the ministry continues to provide safe and high-paying overseas job opportunities for those who wish to work legally. For more information, job seekers and those wishing to learn skills can contact the Hotline number 1297 for information about jobs and skills training and 1286 for the B.S.S. service. And please continue to spread this information to your family, relatives and friends so that they can have more job opportunities and develop their skills.
Please note that in this forum, there are more than 4,000 job advertisements from Thaco Africa, Vanly Tire Factory (Cambodia) Co., Ltd., Vattanac Bank Asia, Chamkat, and companies recruiting labor to work abroad such as Mongkol Company MONGKOL HR, etc.
