Graduates Batch 2009 accredited by TVET Standardization of Cambodia

PHNOM PENH: 28th August 2009 -- August 28, 2009 was indeed a very happy day for Don Bosco Technical School Phnom Penh. The School’s Certification Day, an honored tradition since 1991.
    Like any Graduation Day ceremony, Don Bosco Certification Day recognized the educational and moral journey that students have taken during their two years of stay in Don Bosco and will continue to take as they move forward into the world of work. “As the graduates go forth in their journey of life, they will remember not only the knowledge and the skills that they have learnt at Don Bosco but especially the advice and encouragement they have received from their superiors, teachers and friends. Yes, they might forget many things that they have learned in their mind, but they will certainly remember and keep whatever they have learned for the hearts and souls as they are going to prove very valuable as they begin their lives into the world of work and society. They are valuable because they are based on the values of trust, hard work, love and spirit of Don Bosco” said Fr. Leo Ochoa, the school’s director.
    This year’s certificates are even more valuable as they were given with authority from the Ministry of Labor and Vocational Training. Graduates 2009 have passed the accreditation and standardization category from the Department of Technical Vocational Education and Training of the Ministry.  
    Fr. Roel Soto, the school’ dean of studies, invited H.E. Tep Eoun  Deputy  Director General of the Department of Technical Vocational Education and Training (TVET) Ministry of Labor and Vocational Training,  to distribute the certificates. Mr. Kheng Khemara, TVET officer from the said Ministry joined him.  In his address he publicly acknowledged the contribution of Don Bosco technical education and training in the development of Cambodia as a sure foundation of knowledge, work ethic and efficient skills that continue on through life and the world of work.
    This year’s graduation Don Bosco sent 298 skilled laborers into the world of work in various technical disciplines such as Mechanics, Welding, Automotive, Electricity Electronics-Computers and Printing.
    Concluding the Certification Day, the Rector reminded all teachers and students of Don Bosco’s words (paraphrased): “He who does not acquire the habit of work in his youth shall always be a lazy bones into old age with dishonor to his country, his relatives and perhaps irreparable damage to his soul”.
