Oddaro Meanchey: The Ministry of Labor and Vocational Training continues to bring local job opportunities to local people by bringing 1,300 job opportunities from large enterprises, companies and factories to citizens, former workers returning from Thailand and more than 700 young people through the “Labor, Social Security and Vocational Training Forum” held at the Anlong Veng District School, Oddaro Meanchey Province on Saturday morning, August 8, 2026, with the aim of promoting participation in the local labor market, increasing job opportunities for citizens and former workers returning from abroad, and spreading awareness about social security and technical and vocational skills training opportunities to meet the labor needs of the current labor market.
Speaking on this occasion, Mr. San Kimhong, Undersecretary of State of the Ministry of Labor and Vocational Training, called on citizens to seize local job opportunities as there is currently a need for more than 90,000 labor positions in enterprises, companies, large factories, and special economic zones across the country. He highlighted that working legally in the country not only provides stable income and job opportunities, but also benefits from the National Social Security System (NSS), including the employment risk regime, healthcare regime, and pension regime, which are important social protections for workers.
At the same time, He called on citizens to avoid illegal migration, which can lead to exploitation, labor rights abuses, and lack of legal protection and assistance. In cases where citizens intend to work abroad, they must choose a company that has been legally licensed and verify information with competent authorities in advance. For more information, citizens can contact Hotline 1297 for job matching services and 1286 for information about the VET service.
Meanwhile, he also encouraged youth and citizens to participate in technical and vocational skills training through the “TVET 1.5 million” program at the Oddar Meanchey Provincial Vocational Training Center. The program provides free training and a monthly stipend, and has a variety of skills in line with labor market needs, including short-term skills training and recognition of prior skills (RPL) tests in eight construction sectors to increase job opportunities and better wages.
Please note that in this forum, large enterprises, companies, and factories participated in bringing 1,300 job opportunities to job seekers, including Ventura Leatherware MFY (CD) Co., Ltd., Taining Siem Reap Rubber Development Company, and Excel Asia Human Resources Company, which recruit labor to work abroad. In addition to direct recruitment, participating enterprises and companies also provide job information, job matching services, and counseling to job seekers to help citizens find jobs that match their skills and abilities, as well as to meet labor needs in the Cambodian labor market.
