Training methods
CKN training is a jack of all trades because of the economic and technical development of Cambodia. As a matter of fact, the country needs a pragmatic and operational workforce with a wide spectrum of knowhows
Skillfulness
To develop quality courses, CKN needs qualified trainers.Therefore CKN focuses its efforts on its core point : trainers training to teach them :
Technical skills Pedagogy Ability to handle responsability Mobility Solidarity Hard work value
Furthermore CKN promotes in association with AAFK the women work as a technician or a trainer.
Trainers training
The learning is theorical but practicing is a key element of a good training.
The student practice at school but also participating in the Siem Reap Kantuot school construction.
Guided by trainers they perform provision of services in companies.
Theory put into practice
Production : Students knowhow to build pedagogical material, lamps…
Trainers can perform training sessions on various domains such as rural electricity, battery charging efficiency…
They also repair motors
They can set up renewable energy sources or massive electrical installations
They are in charge of industrial maintenance (rice mill, cigarette and incense factory..)
CKN runs two electrical power plants in Dambêr and Banteay Dêk
CKN works as a partner in technical exposition management, battery charging trainings or gasogene maintenance
Train and produce
