Prey Veng: The Ministry of Labor and Vocational Training continues to bring job opportunities to local people by organizing a “Forum on Labor, Social Security, and Vocational Training” under the theme “Khmer people help find jobs and provide jobs for Khmer people” at the Pearang District School, Prey Veng Province, on the morning of July 31, 2026. The forum brought 3,800 job opportunities from enterprises, companies, factories and related institutions to the people, especially former workers returning from Thailand and young people looking for work, with more than 600 participants.
Speaking at the forum, Ms. Mao Thita, Secretary of State, High Representative Heng Sour, Minister of Labor and Vocational Training, highlighted that organizing job forums across the country is a demonstration of the government’s commitment to attracting investment, creating jobs, and bringing job opportunities, social security services, and technical and vocational training (TVET) programs to local people. The “home-based” job-finding mechanism helps reduce both time and cost in finding work, especially for former workers. Cambodia currently has over 90,000 local job opportunities that allow people to live close to their families and receive benefits from the National Social Security (NSS) including healthcare, work risks, and pensions, with similar protections to civil servants, while migrant workers in Thailand can face safety risks, discrimination, lack of health care, and living away from family.
At the same time, she added that in case of intending to work abroad with high salaries, citizens must choose a legal company and verify the list with the authorities or contact the hotline number 1297 for job matching and number 1286 for the B.S.C. service.
In addition, she encouraged young people to enroll in technical skills at the Prey Veng Polytechnic Institute through the “TVET 1.5 million” program, a free national program with monthly subsidies, including skills in air conditioning repair, electricity, construction, coffee service, beauty or salon, grooming and many other skills, including the Recognition of Prior Skills (RPL) test in 8 construction sectors to ensure employment and receive decent wages.
Please note that the 3,800 job opportunities brought to this forum include those from Thaco Africa, San Feng (Cambodia) Company Limited, Indochina Apparel (Cambodia), Cambodia Garment Training Institute (CGTI), as well as Japanese recruitment companies such as Excel Asia Human Resources and Mongkol AXA.
