Passerelles Numériques (PN) is a non-profit organization dedicated to enabling highly disadvantaged youths, through their abilities and their commitment, to access education and technical and vocational training in the sector of Information Technology. We work to build strong employability which will allow them and their families to escape poverty in a sustainable way, and contribute to the social and economic development of their countries.
Established in Cambodia, the Philippines, Vietnam, and Cambodia, Passerelles Numériques currently trains more than 600 students and employs around 100 people based in these three countries including a small team in France. Since 2005, PN has produced more than 2 600 graduates.
Passerelles Numériques Cambodia was the first project to be launched in 2005, in Phnom Penh. PNC offers two IT training programs in System and Network Administration (SNA) and Web Programming (WEP), based on a holistic educational approach including technical and soft skills, and a personal development program.
In addition to our training program, we are also working on other projects including NomadLab. Nomadlab is our solution toward the digital divide issues in Cambodia by giving youth the access to digital tools with an offline solution to rural communities to support their digital literacy, digital skills development and their scholar education.

CONTEXT
Additionally, to their IT training, PN students are also provided with a 2 year Professional life course. We are currently reformatting this course and we are looking for a volunteer to give us support with this task.
Our objectives are for students to be ready to enter the job market being able to:
- Communicate efficiently
- Identify their skills, develop their professional project, build their career, create a network, adapt to change
- Understand the ins and outs of a business and be prepared to work in a professional environment.
In order to reach those objectives, the aim is to develop the students’ transversal skills (communication, leadership, critical thinking, creativity) by including, but not limited to, the following approaches:
- Experiential Learning: Hands-on experiences that allow students to actively engage in real situations related to professional development.
- Role-Playing: Activities involving students interpreting different professional roles or scenarios to develop their understanding of workplace dynamics.
- Business Simulations: Using business simulations, students can experience the challenges and decision-making processes involved in running a business.
- Collaboration and Networking Opportunities: Providing opportunities for students to collaborate on projects, to participate in group discussions and engage in networking events will foster different skills such as interpersonal skills, teamwork and communication, and develop the students’ ability to build professional relationships.
The following timetable of PL courses shows the major topics taught depending on each term. Based on the volunteer’s background and/or period of mission, he or she will focus on topics such as career, entrepreneuship, etc.
