Announcement Description

We are a leading organisation for the implementation of international development projects. We promote inclusive economic, social and ecological development to make an effective contribution towards sustainable and widespread prosperity in developing and emerging economies.

Swisscontact - the Swiss Foundation for Technical Cooperation is an independent, non-profit foundation based in Zürich, founded in 1959 by leading figures from the Swiss private sector and Swiss universities. It is exclusively involved in international development, active in more than 38 countries with 120 programmes with more than 1,000 staff members. Swisscontact has been present throughout South-East Asia for more than 30 years. Swisscontact has been operating in Cambodia since 2013, establishing its office in the country in April 2016.

Skills Development Programme (SDP) is a project of the Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation (SDC). The Skills Development Programme (SDP) in Cambodia is transitioning to its final phase. Following the completion of Phase 2 on June 30, 2024, Phase 3 will commence in July 2024. Building upon achievements from the previous phases, Phase 3 aims to solidify and amplify results.

The focus of Phase 3 will be on addressing ongoing challenges within Cambodia's TVET sector. This includes improvements in governance, training quality, accessibility of public TVET providers, and establishing HoKa as a sustainable model for hospitality skills development. Ultimately, Phase 3 seeks systemic change that aligns with national priorities, labor market needs, and strengthens the TVET system to empower disadvantaged young women, men, and low-skilled workers.

To support us in the project activities we are looking for a motivated Programme Intern to be a part of our team.
