Training for jobs in tourism
Ecole Paul Dubrule is a Cambodian NGO which aims to provide training in the tourism and hotel industry. It offers young Cambodians the advanced training and qualifications they need to contribute to sustainable development of the tourism sector in the country. Since 2002, the Paul Dubrule hotel school has been running programs for worthy young people including somefrom particularly underprivileged backgrounds.
At the request of Fabrice Tessier, Mercure HR Project Director based in Evry, the Accor Foundation subsidizes training for 20 underprivileged young actually following a professionalization program after a social integration process provided by other Ngos’ (notably the NGO "Pour un Sourire d'Enfant" which supervises young people living in the street) . These students are offered a 10-month training program, from September 2009 to July 2010, alternating classroom periods with internships in companies. Depending on their capacities, they choose between the different courses offered by the school: cooking, restaurant, room division, bakery, pastry and tourism.
