Mission Statement
The LCDC aims to provide
leadership development opportunities and professional career
services to UC students and the entire community of
Cambodia. The LCDC assists job seekers by helping them
transform their experiences, interests, talents, and life
long ambition into career possibilities. To achieve these
goals, the LCDC provides support services that build the
confidence of job seekers in many ways such as career
assessment, networking, resume writing, interview training,
and participation at UC hosted career & internship fairs.
There are thousands of students
who graduate from colleges and universities every year and
are both eager and scared to enter the job market. Many
students and community members are poorly prepared for the
job market because they lack the basic knowledge and skills
needed to find good jobs, writing their C.V., and making a
good impression with their interview. Poor job preparation
may lead to loss opportunities and increasing frustration.
Before, there were no centers in Cambodia to help students
and community members prepare for the job market. The
University of Cambodia recognizes that in these next few
years thousands of graduates and community members will be
entering the job market in search of starting strong
careers.
The demand for
career consultation and preparation is on the rise as job seekers
look to land competitive jobs in the globalizing market. As a
result, the University established the Leadership Career Development
Center to address these needs.
However, job
preparation should not begin months before a student graduates.
Leadership and personal development is a life long process, and thus
should at least begin the very first day that a student arrives at
their university. The LCDC will host workshops and provide
opportunities to work with the school and community in order to
facilitate the personal growth of students.
