IT Graduate Employment in Cambodia: STEP Results 2025–2026

97% of STEP Cambodia graduates with confirmed status are working. See employers, salaries and real career stories from the 2025–2026 cohorts.

Choosing where to study is a major decision. Most schools explain what students will learn. Far fewer publish what happens after graduation: whether graduates find work, where they are employed, and how their careers develop. At IT Academy STEP Cambodia, we follow up with graduates after they complete their programs. Our 2025–2026 graduate employment data covers students from the 2.5-year Software Development and Computer Graphics & Design Professional Programs.
