PHNOM PENH: A group of Japanese investors met with Cambodia’s Skills Development Fund (SDF) on Monday to learn about Royal Government support programmes and explore potential investment opportunities in the Kingdom.
The meeting brought together representatives from 10 Japanese companies, organised by the Cambodia Chamber of Commerce (CCC), to discuss Cambodia’s investment climate and available support mechanisms through the SDF.
During the session, SDF officials outlined the fund’s strategic role and key support initiatives aimed at strengthening workforce skills development to support private sector growth and enhance economic productivity in Cambodia.
The participating Japanese firms operate across a range of sectors, including healthcare and elderly care, real estate and infrastructure, biotechnology, food and beverage and hospitality, Cambodia–Japan international trade, business networking, and sports and event management.
SDF also introduced its workforce development programmes designed to help businesses improve human capital, including upskilling programmes for employees in factories and enterprises, pre-employment training for job seekers, and reskilling initiatives for workers transitioning into new occupations.
To date, the fund has built a network of 502 partners, including 73 training institutions and 24 business associations.
SDF said it will continue pursuing its mission of “building a skilled Cambodia together,” supporting the growth of the private sector and the broader national economy.
