Monday was
my first day at work in Cambodia. I visited the first school Passerelles
numériques (PN) created in order to help disadvantaged students by getting
access to a high level of education, and finding qualified employment. I’ve been
friendly welcomed by the complete staff and students. The school building, located
in Phnom Penh and built in 2005, is well situated, it has good facilities and
offers the students a very good studying environment.
The
training program of PN has been designed to provide students a set of professional
skills, specific technical IT skills and they teach them to speak English
fluently. The program is constantly updated to meet the growing needs of a constantly
changing market.
I also had
my first meetings with the fund raising-, internship- and job placement team. After
graduating, the students can still count on Passerelles numériques support,
thanks to this job placement service. I find it amazing that all students find
a job within 3 months after graduating. Since 2005, 607 Cambodian students have
graduated from this training center, from whom 358 completed a 2-year training
program as IT technician. Now that’s what I consider a job well done!
My calendar
for this week is scheduled, I will be mixing sales training's with brain
storming sessions and also have some interesting visits to prospects planned. I am
looking forward to it!From left to right: Sopheak, Saroem, myself, also Sopheak (the same name is used for a male and female) and Channita.
