For Swisscontact & NEA: Capacity building on career counseling service, by Cogen academy

From 12 to 15 December 2022, the National Employment Agency and SwissContact Cambodia organized a Capacity Building on Career Counseling Service training program in Phnom Penh, Cambodia, facilitated by Mr. Narath Chheav. The training brought together participants from the NEA team, Job Centres, Provincial Training Centres, HRINC, APLUS Consulting, and the International Organization for Migration (IOM).

The four-day program aimed to strengthen the capacity of professionals involved in career guidance and employment services. Through interactive discussions, practical exercises, and case-based learning, participants explored effective counseling techniques, labor market insights, and strategies to better connect job seekers with employment opportunities.

This collaborative initiative not only enhanced the technical and interpersonal skills of career counselors but also contributed to improving the overall quality of employment services in Cambodia. By bringing together diverse organizations, the training fostered knowledge sharing and a stronger network committed to supporting workforce development.
