Skills for Clean Energy Sector
As Cambodia continues on its Clean Energy Transition, there is a need to understand the skills and training requirements to support the development of clean energy technologies and industries in the kingdom.
Powering The Future: Opportunities and Challenges in Skills Development Within Cambodia's Electric Vehicles Sector
This analysis aims to gain insights into the current skills gaps in Cambodia's workforce in the Electric Vehicles (EV) sector and identify the opportunities and challenges in addressing these gaps. It builds upon a stakeholder consultation facilitated by EnergyLab concerning the Royal Government of Cambodia (RGC)'s National Policy on Electric Vehicle Development for 2024-2030. The policy highlights the importance of developing local workforce skills as a crucial element for sustaining growth within the EV sector. Data for this analysis were collected through document reviews, interviews with key stakeholders, including RGC officials, private sector representatives, and educational institutions, and survey questionnaires directed at EV owners and automotive technicians.
Accordingly, EnergyLab is working to support the development of skill-development programs in crucial clean energy markets in Cambodia, exploring the support requirements around: curriculum development, private sector linkage, and training approaches.

By equipping individuals with the knowledge and expertise needed for clean energy technologies, societies can create a more sustainable, competitive, and resilient energy future.
