Education Project Officer TVET

5 months ago

Amman, Jordan UNESCO Global Open Science Partnership Full time

OVERVIEW OF THE FUNCTIONS OF THE POST

UNESCO is implementing a programme designed for a period of four years to contribute to transforming the TVET system in Jordan to respond to labour market demands and address youth unemployment and gender disparities. More specifically, the programme aims to provide technical assistance to MoE in Jordan to support their national TVET reforms and in particular the implementation of their Education Strategic Plan (ESP/2018-25), including the Strategy for Mainstreaming Gender Equality in Education and new Vocational Education Reform Strategic Plan (VERSP). The programme complements the Canadian government’s sovereign loan to the government of Jordan supporting the implementation of a five-year initiative titled ‘Increasing Education Access and Quality to Vocational Education through Strengthening Edtech and Maintenance’.

The proposed UNESCO technical assistance will support MoE’s TVET reforms through three key areas; namely Strengthening key institutional and policy elements of the national skills ecosystem for a better enabling institutional and policy environment; Enhancing skills development in priority sectors for young women and men through innovation in TVET; and Improving the perception of TVET while advancing gender inclusivity and equity for all students to become a more attractive pathway for young girls and boys.

Under the direct supervision of the Head of the Education Unit, the Project Officer will be responsible for the coordination, implementation and monitoring of the TVET Programme through the three key areas mentioned above.

Under the leadership of the MoE and in close collaboration with key national stakeholders and partners involved in TVET provision, and the private sector, UNESCO will support the implementation of interventions and activities under the three areas to put in place gender-sensitive and strategic transformations and reforms for quality TVET provision, and to increase equitable and inclusive vocational education and skills development opportunities for youth that are aligned to labour market needs. This would support girls and boys in Jordan, regardless of their nationalities, gender, diverse abilities, and socioeconomic situation, to participate in quality vocational education that promotes practical and life skills and work readiness, which would ultimately lead to more and better employment opportunities and income generation sources, and hence contribute to alleviating poverty and vulnerability.

The Project Officer will be responsible for carrying out the following tasks and responsibilities:

1. Programme management:

• Oversee and follow up on the implementation of the Technical Assistance (TA) Programme ‘Transforming Technical Vocational Education and Training in Jordan 2023-2027’ in close coordination with relevant national stakeholders and development partners and in line with project agreements, documents and plans.

• Develop and keep up to date a strategic and operational plan for programme implementation.

• Ensure monitoring, reporting and evaluation of the programme by implementing monitoring activities (updating results frameworks, field visits, regular monitoring meetings with stakeholders, partners, and vendors, etc.), preparing internal and donor progress and final narrative and ad hoc reports on regular basis and as required in programme agreements, in line with UNESCO procedures and requirements.

• Ensure technical and operational quality assurance of all programme deliverables.

• Work closely with MoE staff, the UNESCO team, technical specialists, contractors and consultants to ensure quality and timely delivery of programme activities, narrative and financial reports, and achievement of performance targets.

• Identify opportunities and challenges during implementation and recommend relevant actions to ensure programme objectives are met or surpassed.

• Supervise the administrative and logistical operations related to programme activities through reviewing budget plans and estimates, preparing and issuing contracts, following up on procurement activities, and supporting event organization (capacity development workshops, technical sessions, missions, workshops, conferences and events, consultation, etc.).
