Cambodia's first empathy-driven workforce forum
For 2022: An innovative short term programme for skills development in the workforce
PEP Talks
PEP Talks is an initiative by the Stronger with Digital Coalition and is Cambodia’s first holistic workforce forum covering the workforce in the light of People. Economy. Progress.
PEP Talks aims to bridge workforce gaps across the value chain over a two days forum.
Through this initiative, The Idea Consultancy supported by Cambodian’s Ministry of Post and Telecommunications, Digital Divide Data and The Capacity Specialists will host a virtual event covering the insights, gaps, solutions for the preparation of Industry 4.0, and overall improvement of the Cambodian workforce capacity through digital, technical and soft skills such as empathetic practice.
The first forum will focus on digital skills for entry-level and high-risk/priority demographics in Cambodia.
