Swisscontact – the Swiss Foundation for Technical Cooperation – is an independent, non-profit organisation 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 38 countries with 120 programmes with more than 1012 staff members. Swisscontact is present in Cambodia since January 2013 and operates in two working areas – enterprise promotion, skills development – always acting through private sector development. Building on the wider organization’s regional and global experience, Swisscontact strives to support local areas of focus, including agricultural innovation, tourism, impact investment, and renewable energy.
The Digital Learning Materials for TVET project is the first project of the Liechtenstein Development Service (LED) in Cambodia and marks the beginning of the cooperation between LED, Swisscontact and Cambodian partners.
The project was developed against the background of the experiences made during the global covid-19 pandemic, that dramatically impacted Cambodia's economy and revealed the vulnerability of the education system, including TVET. TVET providers had to close due to the pandemic since the beginning of 2020 and weren’t prepared and equipped for the digital provision of education and skills development, leading to the interruption of training and education for the students. The required rapid transition to digital learning has proven challenging.
Digitalization of education systems, including TVET, is a high priority of the Royal Government of Cambodia, creating the requirements needed to achieve and accelerate the digital transition of TVET.
The overall goal of the project is to support the reform process of TVET in Cambodia by supporting the digitalisation of the TVET system.
The main project implementation partner will be the Ministry of Labour and Vocational Training (MoLVT) as well as its associated TVET schools, authorities, institutions, etc.
TVET is characterized by a critically low availability of good learning digital materials. The accessibility of learning materials on an online platform allows students to access them before, during and after the training. Unlike a manual, online materials can be updated or complemented much easier.
The project will support the MoLVT in creating digital learning materials on a pilot basis, the project builds up human resources and strengthens capacities of key stakeholders in TVET on how to develop and use digital learning and teaching materials.
The project Digital Learning Materials for TVET will be closely cooperating with the ongoing Skills Development Programme (SDP) funded by the Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation (SDC), implemented by Swisscontact and INBAS. Currently SDP runs in its second phase from 2020 to 2024, mainly in collaboration with the Ministry of Labor and Vocational Training (MoLVT) and the Ministry of Tourism (MoT). The programme successfully works in the TVET system in Cambodia for several years now, on different levels and works closely with key stakeholders from the government at the national and the provincial levels, such as the National Employment Agency, public and non-governmental training providers as well as private companies and small enterprises in several sectors.
