Chisholm Institute has been selected as the Regional Education Institute (REI) for the Asian Development Bank-funded Cambodia Skills for Future Economy Sector Development Program (SFESDP).
Chief Executive Officer Stephen Varty and Chief Commercial Officer Damien Van Eyk recently visited Phnom Penh as part of an Australian Trade and Investment Commission (Austrade) mission, engaging with the Ministry and some of the institutes that Chisholm Institute will be working with over the next five years.
In collaboration with Eductrade, SBK Research and Development and the Cambodian Ministry of Labour and Vocational Training, this five-year, US$6.8 million initiative will uplift eight key Cambodian vocational institutes in Engineering and Information Technology.
As part of this contract, Chisholm Institute’s focus will be on strengthening employability for women and men, implementing competency-based, modular training programs in priority skills, upgrading training facilities and equipment and supporting broader skills development reform.
Chisholm Institute is honoured to be selected as the Regional Education Institute and looks forward to supporting the delivery of Cambodia’s development program.
