The U.S. Embassy in Phnom Penh is pleased to announce the English for Workforce Development in Cambodia (EnglishWorks!) Program and would like to invite interested not-for-profit organizations to submit proposals to serve as EnglishWorks! providers.
The six-month program will enable participants to build the professional skills necessary to compete in the 21st century job market. The result of the EnglishWorks! program will be a diverse and empowered group of participants and alumni with an increased potential to shape the course of their own lives and their communities.
