CKN Network
The CKN project celebrated its 20 years of existence in 2012 (20th anniversary report), and today our long term investments are paying back. Our former trainers stand as a particular proof of the success of this collaborative project. Since 2014, we host each october the alumni meeting with alumni students and teachers. Most of former students are now entrepreneurs and trying to give back a little to our institution after what we previously achieved together. Our former students and trainers stand as a proof of the success of this collaborative project.
These people stand as a proof of concept of our philosophy. They represent our will to develop new business, and the success by working and practicing hard.
Vannak, (and Sokpheap, his wife): Vannak started the CKN training to learn maintenance and technology. With time, he participated in various national CKN's partnerships. In 2010, he received the Medal of Excellence at the National Cambodian MySkills competition, but he coached Thy, to compete at the international ASEAN WorldSkills competition. Today, Vannak owns a industrial maintenance business with his wife Sokpheap. They have many contracts and still work with us on several projects.
Pothy : he was a CKN sutdent for 2 years, and then became a trainer. His passion for automation and electronics drove him to work in this sector after he left us. In 2017, his company was in need of a new industrial machine to bend metal parts. He started his own business, in order to sell it to his former company. Using pneumatic pistons, motors, and automatons, he was able to come to CKN's workshop to design, experiment, and build his first model. If this is successful, he would obtain a contract to build and 10 other machines.
