Pathways to Employment, Cambodia

Build up essential qualifications after formal education for paid employment.
This program in the area of Battambang has been supported by BASAID for several years now. It is
run by our local partner NGO Children’s Future International. The program provides professional
internships, an internship stipend, soft skills and vocational training.
After finishing school, young adults stand little chances to find paid employment. Pathways to
Employment supports young adults be enabling further training. This may be internship, grants for
university or vocational training with local partners. Internships serve as a platform for practical job
experience. This track record of job experience is a crucial asset for young people applying for
employment. CFI senior staff coach the interns. They build up essential work skills and improve their
employability. CFI interns are more than twice as likely to find paid employment as students leaving
university are.
