Community Cares First Organization (CCFO)
WHAT THEY DO
CCFO have been leaders in the field of transitioning out of residential care and supporting families and children with reintegration, kinship or foster care. This work in combination empowers people, supports strength in family units (where possible) and educates people about their job and migration choices. All these factors are important in fighting the trafficking issues we see in Cambodia. CCFO is working with communities and young people on several levels. They run workshops and one on one advice sessions for young people in order to help them transition into the world of work – these sessions are bespoke to the needs of the individuals or group, but include career counseling, CV and cover letter writing, interview technique, work place etiquette, learning and practicing soft skills and being empowered to know their employment rights. In addition, they also support communities with information on safe migration, choices and risks.
FOCUS OF OUR PARTNERSHIP
GoPhil recently granted CCFO a pilot grant of $4753 in order to run a series of in-depth workshops over 56 hours for 15 young adults. The training will focus on different Soft Skills and Job Readiness modules relevant for entering the job market in skilled positions. The training topics will be taught through practical activities, group discussions and debriefing and will be tested through practical exercises.
