Professional training at OBT Chiro<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

SEAJA, a committed partner of the Cambodian NGO Organisation for Basic Training (OBT), plans to finance the complete reconstruction of an existing building in 2027. This building will be converted into a technical training center specializing in carpentry, apprenticeships, and bamboo work. The goal is to offer young people from the rural village combined access to secondary education and quality vocational training.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The building's objectives<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

This center will encourage the acquisition of practical skills, the development of local expertise, and the creation of handcrafted activities. It will also serve as a showcase for visitors, highlighting the material and offering the opportunity to create souvenirs. This space will enhance youth employability while supporting the region's economic resilience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Local context and educational challenge<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Rural areas, such as Tbong Khmum, suffer from a major lack of infrastructure dedicated to vocational training for young people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Furthermore, carpentry and joinery skills using materials such as bamboo are being lost, although they constitute strategic know-how for the country, particularly for rural communities.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
