Union
Aid Abroad-APHEDA Technical Advisor, Gail Vest, blogs about
Vocational Training opportunities and how donated funds are being
used to aid the 'Hair&Beauty for Wedding Outfitting' program
across six remote training centres in Cambodia.
Our
goal has always been two-fold, to train teachers and develop
technical skills in one, resulting in quality Co-operatives in remote
communities.
The
key skill areas in the hair&beauty program are women's hair
cutting, bridal up styling, make-up, nail art and small business
management. We concentrate on teaching staff within the centres and
trainers transfer skills onto students.
We
work in five provinces including some of the poorest districts of the
country. Our partners are:
- Women's Development Centres, Department of Women's Affairs - Preah Vihear
- Kampot and Thmar Kul- Battambang
- Cambodian Women for Peace and Development - Kampong Cham
- Community Education Centre - Mong Russey District, Battambang
- Department of Women's Affairs - Oddar Meanchey
Importantly,
all our training includes life skill components in reproductive
health, HIV awareness, hygiene, anti-domestic violence and nutrition
training. On completion, our graduates are supported to form small
cooperatives with interest free loans, equipment and financial
management training.
Our
2014
training agenda includes Colour Application Techniques, Blowdrying
Skills and Small
Business Management. English Language for Beginners and Mens Cutting
are
on the agenda for 2015!
