PLF GRADUATES
HALL OF FAME!
THAKYUTH – Electrical Engineering
As we grow our university scholarship program for those students with academic promise, we are also making more awards each year for vocational training placements – recognizing that some students, like young people everywhere, are better served by programs with more immediate access to jobs. Thakyuth is our first student to graduate from the relatively new National Polytechnic Institute of Angkor in Siem Reap, having taken a 2-year degree in Electrical Engineering:
After graduating I moved to Phnom Penh because there are more big companies there, and also I wanted to get new life experiences. Now I am using my electrical training in my job at Phnom Penh airport where I maintain the ventilation systems.
Taking my vocational training at NPIA definitely led to better job opportunities that wouldnโt otherwise have been available. Now my current salary is enough to both support myself, and send a significant amount back home to my mother. And there is also the opportunity to grow my job and improve my salary in the future.
If I hadnโt had this training, I would still be doing small jobs and it would be hard to support myself because that isnโt stable or regular work. Itโs really important to study a skill, for which there is a need in the community.

There are many more students just like Thakyuth, with great potential for higher education, but lacking the financial ability to get there.
Donating to our scholarship fund ensures they can access college, and go on to employment opportunities that change the trajectory of not only their lives, but their familiesโ and communitiesโ too.
Make their dreams come true โ andย contribute to a brighter and more equitable Cambodia!
