The second Returnee Worker Employment Matching Fair will be held in Phnom Penh on December 5, 2026. The organizers are currently seeking recruitment partners among companies operating in Cambodia. Companies may register for free, meet Cambodian jobseekers with overseas work experience face to face, and conduct recruitment on-site.
The event is organized by the Happy Return Center of Cambodia (HRCC) and primarily targets Cambodian workers who have returned home after working in countries such as South Korea, Japan and Thailand. It provides a platform for direct communication between companies and jobseekers. According to the organizers, the event is expected to attract more than 500 returnee workers and the organizers plan to provide more than 1,000 job-matching sessions.
Participating companies can present information about their businesses and job openings, receive jobseekers’ résumés, and assess candidates’ skills, work experience and job preferences through on-site discussions and interviews to identify people who match their vacancies. During the event, HRCC will also provide employment matching, résumé consultation and on-site interview services to help both sides connect efficiently.
Companies in manufacturing, apparel, automotive, electronics, logistics, food and beverage, construction, retail, distribution, tourism and hospitality industries are welcome to participate. Businesses with recruitment needs, whether for technical positions or frontline production and service roles, may contact the organizers for registration information.
HRCC was reportedly established through cooperation between the Human Resources Development Service of Korea (HRDK) and Cambodia’s Ministry of Labour and Vocational Training. It aims to help returnee workers improve their skills and re-enter the local employment market. The center offers skills training in welding, automotive repair, electrical installation and agriculture, as well as courses in Korean, office computing and entrepreneurship, and provides résumé coaching, interview preparation and company-matching services.
