Australia backs new job opportunities for Cambodian women

Today on the International Day of Women and Girls in Science, we celebrate young Cambodian women who are stepping into the fields of engineering and clean energy. 

 

With Australia’s support, the Women in Clean Energy (WiCE) internship program is helping future female engineers gain hands on experience at solar farms. The program is breaking down old stereotypes and opening doors to meaningful, long term careers.

 

Seng Somneang, currently on placement in Kampong Chhnang, said the program “gave me confidence and motivation, showing that women can succeed and make an important impact in the clean energy field.”

 

Australia is proud to support equality and inclusion, and to stand with Cambodia as it builds a resilient and sustainable future.
