RATCH launched the Education for Career Empowerment Project in Lao PDR, a major investment base, in 2011. In its second phase which ran from 2018 through 2023, the project has been implemented jointly with Ministry of Education and Sports in response to the government’s education strategy. Under the strategy, Lao PDR aims to produce vocational technicians in support of the electricity industry, to further drive the economy forward.
