DC-CAM STAFF
Overview
When it was founded in 1995, DC-Cam had a staff of three. Today, we
have 46 employees and 4 volunteers, all of whom are Cambodian (view
our
Staff List,
Organizational
Chart,
and
photographs of
our staff by John J. Daigle).
All of our staff begin working at the Center as volunteers for three
months to a year, during which time they are observed and evaluated by
the Director to determine if they are adequately committed to
undertake the Center’s demanding work. We require our volunteers and
staff to have proficiency in English and computer skills.
Candidates who are successful in making the transition to employee
are asked to sign a contract with the Center, generally for 12 months.
At the end of each year, their contracts may be renewed based upon a
managerial evaluation of each staff member's performance.
The salaries and benefits DC-Cam offers its employees are
competitive with those of other Cambodian non-government
organizations. Our benefits include annual and sick leave, paid
holidays, merit increases, and training.

Development
Since its founding, DC-Cam has implemented programs that aim to
constantly increase the capabilities of our staff. These include:
Internal Training.
We have offered numerous training courses given by our staff and
outside experts in such areas as research methods, interviewing,
English language, Internet research, Khmer Rouge terminology,
microfilming, cataloguing, and transliteration. In addition, several
of our staff have attended six-week legal training courses DC-Cam has
offered in preparation for the tribunal of senior Khmer Rouge leaders
(legal
training).
Local Training.
DC-Cam occasionally sends
promising staff members to upgrade their English at a local school or
university. In addition, our staff members have been trained in radio
broadcasting and identifying people who suffer from post-traumatic
stress disorder by experts within
Cambodia.
Overseas Training.
Every year, DC-Cam sends
selected staff members abroad to gain new skills and knowledge. They
have received short-term training in such subjects as information
technology (Singapore),
database management (Australia),
human rights (South Africa,
Canada, Ireland, UK, USA), anthropology (South Africa),
and graphics and book design (India).
In addition, we have been able to obtain scholarships for several
of our staff to obtain advanced degrees. They include:
