Speaking during the event, H.E Pich Sophoan, Secretary of State at MLVT and deputy director of BEC said that “additional training is needed to make sure engineers have professional skills and high experience, maintain dignity, contribute to promoting the country’s image and development, and can compete in both the local and international markets”.

To receive training and the official title as engineer recognised domestically and internationally, H.E Pich Sophoan called for all engineers to register with the BEC.

“If our engineers are not registered with BEC, they will lose the chance to get an official title, and especially not have the chance to relocate for jobs across the region and the globe,” he explained.
