Siem Reap: In a spirit of high concern for the livelihood of citizens, the Labor, Social Security and Vocational Training Forum of the Ministry of Labor and Vocational Training has continued to bring 3,500 job opportunities, benefits of the B.S.C. and TVET programs offered to local people, especially for former workers from Thailand and young people looking for work, on Saturday morning, July 11, 2026, at the Angkor Thom District School, Siem Reap Province.
Speaking at a forum under the theme “Khmer help find jobs and provide jobs for Khmer” attended by more than 560 people, Mr. Mam Vannak, Secretary of State, a high representative of Mr. Heng Sour, Minister of Labor and Vocational Training, said that these more than 3,000 job opportunities are among more than 90,000 job opportunities across the country that the Ministry of Labor and Vocational Training has collected from special economic zones, companies, factories and large enterprises and brought to the grassroots so that people can register, interview and get a job immediately.
He added that bringing a variety of local jobs to the base saves both money and time, as people do not have to struggle to find work on their own. Local jobs in companies, factories, and enterprises are a great option for building the economy and providing happiness to families. In addition to decent wages and other benefits, people also receive benefits from the National Social Security Fund (NSSF), such as: occupational risk, health care, and pensions, just like civil servants. Pregnant women receive many benefits until their children are under 2 years old. On the other hand, migrant workers in Thailand, although a civilized society, face safety risks, labor exploitation, lack of health care, violence, discrimination, inability to live with family, and high costs.
On the other hand, in cases where you want to work abroad, The Secretary of State encouraged former workers to register to work in other countries that offer higher salaries and security than Thailand, such as Japan, Korea, and Singapore. Meanwhile, for those who already have construction skills but do not yet have a certification, the ministry has also implemented the Recognition of Prior Practice (RPL) test to obtain an official certification.
In addition, former workers and youth can also register for free technical skills training courses through the program 1.5 million TVET with many study options, such as: construction, machinery repair, electrical equipment, air conditioning, baking, beverages, and salons, etc. For those with a secondary school certificate (K1, K2), you can study and even receive additional subsidies.
