Full Description

USAID/Cambodia is developing a Scope of Work for a prospective initiative called USAID Employ, which is intended to equip Cambodians with job skills that are tailored to sectors that will drive inclusive and sustainable growth and economic diversification over the coming decade. By working directly with and through local partners such as NGOs, private businesses, universities, and vocational training institutions, USAID Employ will ready Cambodia’s emerging workforce with the skills and knowledge that are needed for them to be able to compete for and thrive in the jobs of tomorrow. USAID Employ will emphasize improving the capabilities of women and youth in science, technology, and innovation, concentrating on areas like the green economy, STEM-related fields, digital technology, and manufacturing, among others. This Request for Information (RFI) serves as a vital platform for USAID to gather insights from stakeholders, including local partners, enhancing our understanding of sector-specific needs within our scope of influence.

This approach is integral to USAID's commitment to narrowing the skills gap in Cambodia, leveraging local expertise and insights for long-term, sustainable impact.
