Context

The “Seth Yerng – Our Rights” app helps Cambodian garment workers learn about labour rights, obligations, and workplace safety through a practical, story-based approach.

The problem

Learning tools can underperform when:

  • content is accurate but not clear enough for non-technical audiences
  • awareness is low, so adoption stalls
  • learners need guided instruction to interpret labour law correctly
  • field questions are not captured and fed back into content improvements

Goals

  1. Improve clarity and usefulness of labour law learning content
  2. Update/add content based on real factory-context questions
  3. Support awareness so the tool is understood and actually used
  4. Deliver app-aligned training so learning transfers into practice

Constraints

  • Varied literacy levels and mixed comfort with mobile learning
  • Labour law complexity creates risk of misunderstanding without examples
  • Training needed to be practical, respectful, and workplace-appropriate

What I did

1) Content advisory and learning design improvements

  • Reviewed content for comprehension, structure, and practical applicability
  • Recommended improvements to sequencing, definitions, and examples so learning “flows” for non-technical users

2) Revised and expanded app learning content

  • Edited and refined wording for clarity and consistency
  • Proposed additions/adjustments where gaps were identified
  • Kept the content grounded in real workplace scenarios (plain language, practical interpretation)

3) Supported awareness in factories

  • Contributed to awareness messaging so factories and workers understood the purpose and how to use the app
  • Connected app topics to common workplace questions to make it feel immediately relevant

4) Delivered labour law training aligned to app chapters

  • Designed and delivered training sessions based on the app’s modules
  • Used the app during sessions so learners could continue self-study after training
  • Captured recurring questions and confusion points for reinforcement and future content refinement

Results (high level)

  • 30,000 downloads reported for the “Seth Yerng – Our Rights” app (program-level metric, as of Mar 2023).
  • ~66,000 workers in 50 factories benefited from trainings linked to the program (program-level metric, not solely attributable to one contributor).
  • Improved readiness for adoption through clearer content, targeted awareness support, and app-aligned training reinforcement.
