Adolescents who come to EQUIP Cambodia often have not finished their secondary education. If they are still of high school age we encourage them to graduate. Upon enrollment in school, some experience for the first time the discipline of well-managed classrooms in a local private high school as well as the rigors of school assignments, homework and examinations.

Once a young person has graduated from high school, he or she can choose to continue studying in university. With EQUIP Cambodia’s assistance, a suitable university and major of study is chosen for a student that will match his or her higher educational skills, interests and goals. Generous supporters will provide the finances necessary to enable a young person to graduate from university and find gainful employment.

Vocational training opportunities are also an option for young adults who come to EQUIP Cambodia beyond the age high school, as well as for high school graduates who do not wish to study in university. EQUIP Cambodia partners with both Christian and secular organizations in the Siem Reap who are providing vocational training opportunities. In this post-pandemic season when tourism is on the rise again in the city of Siem Reap, vocational training often involves equipping in an area such as hotel and restaurant skills. Upon the completion of vocational training and/or university study, we do our best to locate and arrange gainful employment for our program graduates.

Generous donors additionally provide funding for the post-secondary education or vocational training opportunities.
