From Learning to Opportunity: Youth Job Tour at Minebea Cambodia Kh Industry

On 25 August 2026, Lutheran Hope Cambodia Organization—through the IMPACT Project and in cooperation with the Institute for Skills Development Cambodia (ISDC) and local authorities—organized a learning visit to Minebea Cambodia in the Phnom Penh Special Economic Zone.

Financially supported by Mission Alliance Cambodia, the event brought together 66 participants, including 52 youths (24 young women), 8 local authorities, and 4 ISDC staff.

For many of the young participants, this was much more than just a factory tour. It was their first hands-on exposure to a real industrial workplace, giving them the opportunity to explore modern production processes, cutting-edge technology, workplace culture, safety standards, and the exact skills employers are looking for.

“Before this visit, I only imagined what working in a modern factory might be like. Today, I saw the technology, discipline, teamwork, and skills required. It made me realize that I need to keep learning and developing my skills if I want to build a good career in the future,” shared one youth participant.

This visit successfully helped these young individuals connect classroom learning with real-world opportunities, discover new career paths, and build the confidence needed to prepare for the future of work!
