Workshop on Future Career and Fields to Study after High School

Goal Setting Session

Phnom Penh-- On July 3, 2014, a group of volunteers from Toul Tompong High School, cooperated with the Cambodia-Japan Cooperation Center (CJCC), conducted a workshop on topic "Future Career and Fields to Study after High School" at CJCC Conference Hall, Royal University of Phnom Penh.

      The core objective of the workshops is to enable students to make a sound decision in choosing majors in college which most suit their goals and talents as well as what the society needs. In the workshop, guest speakers from various fields were invited to share their experience and advice with the participants to encourage them to set a life goal so as to make a right life decision. There were an estimated number of 500 participants, all of which are high school students-- 11 and 12th grades. 

Q & A Session

The workshop began with an opening speech by the CEO of CJCC, followed by a short description of the aims of the workshop by the director of Toul Tompong High School.​There was also a short story performance by high school students about their decision after finishing high school.

The Six Guest Speaker for the Morning Session

An Menghong, Head of the Volunteers of Toul Tompong High School, said "As a citizen of the country, it is our civic obligation
to help our fellow young people to have a clear idea what they are going to do. I think that for high school students, most of them get information from their family, relatives, friends, and the like, and some of those pieces of information are not reliable. Therefore, it is critically important to organize such a workshop where students come and ask directly to the guest speakers who represent their fields of study."

 

When Giving Advice

         The workshop produced a fruitful result. At the end of the workshop, students seemed to have a clear direction what they are going to do after receiving good pieces of wise advice from all guest speakers, and they wanted such a workshop will be hosted every year so that all students can learn to make a right decision after high school.
