Phnom Penh: Former Cambodian workers who returned from Thailand have called on other former workers to register for the Recognition of Prior Skills (RPL) test, as it is an important mechanism to obtain certification of existing knowledge, skills and work experience, especially as it is also the key to opening the door to the job market and increasing income.
Mr. Tuy Vitou, a former Cambodian worker who came to register for the RPL test in the field of plumbing and electrical engineering, said that he received this news from a friend who had already taken the test and received a certificate. Therefore, he is interested and continues to learn more skills to improve his knowledge and want a suitable job.
He said: “I feel happy to come to participate in the RPL test to get my skills confirmed because this program is really important for us workers and we did not study skills in general schools. I would like to appeal to our brothers and sisters who have not yet registered to take the test to register quickly to receive a certificate of proficiency for official use.”
Another former Cambodian worker, Mr. Suon Vanna, said that he came to take the test of his electrical network installation skills because he had worked in electrical network installation in Thailand and had 6 years of experience, but he did not have a certificate to prove his skills.
He stated: “Today, I am very happy because I also have a certificate confirming my skills, which makes it easier for me to find a job. “In the past, when I applied for a job, companies always asked me for my diploma or certificate of proficiency, but I didn’t have it, so the company wouldn’t hire me.”
Mr. Sun Mesa, spokesperson for the Ministry of Labor and Vocational Training, confirmed that former Cambodian workers who returned from Thailand can register for the RPL test in four ways to obtain an official certificate of proficiency, which can be used to find better jobs and increase their income.
He said the four methods include: 1. Register in person at the 9 competency assessment centers during working hours, 2. Register online at https://erpl.mlvt.gov.kh (https://erpl.mlvt.gov.kh/), 3. Contact the hotline number 1297 and 4. QR Code scanning.
