Today, I would like to introduce Nomi Network Cambodia, a key important organization which focus on women career in industrial age.
Quote for Nomi Network Cambodia Official Facebook Page:
"The Cambodia today is very different to the one that I first encountered in 2009. The garment industry started to emerge in the mid 1990’s as neighboring countries established factories looking to take advantage of the low-cost labor for the ever more competitive and highly integrated global supply chains. By 2009, the industry was generating $2.5 billion, 25% of the total Cambodian national growth. Many Nomi Network partners adapted to the trend and started to train villagers and other beneficiaries on basic sewing skills as well as other simple handcraft skills to support themselves. As Nomi focused on economic empowerment, job creation for survivors and women at risk of human trafficking, we have supported our partners by purchasing products as well as technical, financial and market advisory.
As the development, competition and economic environments have grown rapidly in the last eight years, I am seeing a shift of low skill work being replaced by higher skill requirement. Quality of products and complexity of the work are increasing, but the development of people is still limited to basic and/or general type of training. As a veteran from the fashion industry and social manufacturing sectors, I see the need of our partners to have more capable staff who understand the global standards with in house leaders who are equipped with critical thinking and more advanced technical and design skills, as well as a creative collaboration and nurturing space where Cambodians can not only produce and copy but create something new, exciting and original.
The Nomi International Fashion Incubator is the result of that idea. Launched and piloted in early 2015, we have in house trainers, a combination of over 25 years of industry experience as well as industry professional guest speakers and trainers. Throughout the year, we hold different events to link producers to potential buyers and other like-minded individuals. We truly believe that in a not so distant future, we will see a new breed of Cambodian designers, fashion entrepreneurs and global brands.
Sincerely,
Supei Liu
Co-founder & VP of Global Initiatives
Nomi Network"
