About the event

The National Technical Training Institute hosted BizConnect Cambodia to strengthen links between technical and vocational education and training (TVET) and industry. 

The event gave students a chance to ask employers about career opportunities and the skills they look for, while educators and companies explored how vocational training could better reflect workplace needs.

BizConnect Cambodia brought students, vocational educators and company representatives together at the National Technical Training Institute (NTTI) in Phnom Penh to discuss the skills employers needed and explore ways to prepare students for work.

Companies introduced their work, career opportunities and skills requirements through short presentations. Students visited company stands and met employers in short networking sessions, where they could ask directly about job roles and the skills companies looked for.

The programme also included a panel discussion, partnership-building tables and a dedicated discussion between NTTI and industry representatives. These sessions gave educators and employers space to discuss how training could respond to industry needs and explore opportunities for collaboration.
