Decent Employment for Youth in Cambodia

The joint UN “Decent Employment for Youth in Cambodia - DEY” program offers out-of school and vulnerable youth with innovative learning packages to help them access quality employment. Packages include technical; entrepreneurial; soft and on-the-job skills as well demand-driven career guidance. In the context of the COVID-19 pandemic, the programme also responds to the emergency measures and supports recovery efforts of the government. Over 170,000 young women and men will directly benefit from the industry-driven skills and competencies development initiatives; basic education equivalency and literacy in factory programmes; entrepreneurship and enterprise development training and support initiatives; employment services; and youth rights at work awareness-raising programmes. Continuing from phase 1, thanks to the contribution of SDC, the DEY extend its implementation by the ILO (the administrative and convening agency), UNESCO, UNICEF and UNIDO till December 2023.
