Industrial Training Skills at PKH

On October 2010, I visited Project Khmer Hope (PKH) at Kg Speu, Cambodia, again for 4 days to see the progress of the Industrial Skill training. It is a 9 months full-time course. The training is progressing well and the 23 students have completed almost three quarter of the training.

After they have completed the technical training, the students will undergo a short introductory lessons to prepare them for the hospitality industry. They can then work as maintenance technicians in the hotel industry.

   

Masonry Work (Concrete Bench)



The students are also taught about the 5S systems which is generally accepted by industry. It is about improving quality, reducing costs, and improving safety which are all key concerns for anyone who works for a manufacturing company or other organization. Many companies implement lean manufacturing in order to reduce excess wastes that occur within a company. They will learn the 5 concepts, namely:

1. Sort
2. Set in Order
3. Shine
4. Standardize
5. Sustain

Currently they are in the process of improving their Tools and Store room by having a proper inventory system with a proper sign in/out records system. We hope to see this implemented in 6 months time.
