Chevening Career Development Learning Sets
From August 2015 to March 2016, the British Embassy in Phnom Penh will be running Chevening Career Development Learning Sets. These learning sets will provide a unique opportunity for Cambodian university students to receive advice and guidance from our Chevening Scholars.
Chevening Career Development Learning Sets will be a series of mentoring discussions on career development between our Chevening Scholars and young Cambodians who are seeking inspiration to brighten their future careers and higher education experience.
Once a month, one of our Chevening scholars will host a learning set with five carefully selected university students. Each learning set will focus on a different subject area.
Five promising university students from any field and any year of study will be recruited through a selection process to participate in each monthly learning set.
For the fifth session of our Chevening Career Development Learning Sets in March, our Chevening scholar, Ms Phearanich Hing , will join us to share her advice and experience on career and study development. This session will be held in Phnom Penh.
Profile of the mentor:
Ms Phearanich Hing has more than five years’ experience working in the area of climate change and natural resource management at both policy and ground levels.
