Cambodia’s Ministry of Labour and Vocational Training’s Committee for Training and Sending Workers Abroad has stated it will recruit and train 1,500 workers for agriculture and animal husbandry positions in South Korea this year.
According to the Ministry announcement, the workers will, among other things, plant tomatoes, chillies, apples, grapes and pears, and manage cows, pigs and chickens. The first 500 workers will depart in March, with the final 1,000 joining them in August.
The program is being run under South Korea’s Foreign Seasonal Workers Program, which complements the Employment Permit System (EPS). Under the program, seasonal workers can be employed for five months at a time. When they return to the Kingdom, they will be given priority for job openings in different cities or districts. One worker may work up to ten months in a year.
