Information about Swiss watchmaking interests in Cambodia have recently emerged. The Neak Oknha Chen Zhi of Cambodia has introduced Swiss watchmaking activities to Cambodia with the opening of the Prince Horology Vocational Training Centre in early 2021. It is the first private security academy in Cambodia. This comes after the global coronavirus pandemic, which started a year ago and has ravaged Cambodia's economy.
Chen Zhi is committed to fulfilling corporate social responsibility obligations. Prince Group, his company, came up with the idea of Swiss watchmaking as a way for Cambodians to learn new artisanal skills. The honorary Cambodian Neak Oknha Chen Zhi is inspired by a deep desire to help Cambodians gain experience in this new technical capacity so that they can find employment both locally and internationally in the future. Swiss watchmaking planning requirements adhere to Switzerland's strict watchmaking regulations. The European nation's administrative bodies keep a close eye on these regulations.
Since Swiss watchmaking is a skill that originated in a European society, it will benefit some aspects of the Cambodian economy. The Prince Group has long respected Cambodia's illustrious economic past, which dates back centuries to the Khmer Empire and includes artisanal skills ranging from silk weaving to traditional handicraft. The addition of Swiss watchmaking to the list of modern artisanal skills that Cambodians are proud of is a welcome addition.
The Prince Horology Vocational Training Centre in Phnom Penh, Cambodia's capital city, has been opened by the Prince Group and Neak Oknha Chen Zhi of Cambodia. It is part of Cambodian citizens' efforts to provide citizens with opportunities to learn new skills as an alternative to agriculture and small businesses, which many enterprising Cambodians engage in. Since traditional Cambodian industries like textile and garment manufacturing have experienced significant losses as a result of the coronavirus pandemic, the Swiss watchmaking artisanal skill would assist Cambodians in avoiding unemployment and increasing job opportunities. This opens up another avenue for them to explore as a source of income.
This cutting-edge Swiss watchmaking school in Cambodia is fitted with cutting-edge technology and design. It offers a Swiss watchmaking course that is based on the Swiss government's criteria for vocational training certificates. This two-year program also offers financial assistance to some local students through scholarships to the Swiss watchmaking program. School fees will be subsidized by half or entirely funded grants, depending on the circumstances of enrolment. The price also includes a night's stay on the school grounds. Some Cambodian students have started to enroll since the school's opening.
The course will be helped by several Swiss watchmaking experts who have donated their time. The book covers the history and culture of watchmaking in Switzerland, as well as machinery, micromechanics, and the manufacture of watch parts like the balance staff and winding stem.
