About the job

The client has a keen interest in using innovative and indigenous MEL methods to understand its impact, and in developing the MEL capacities of young Ethiopian professionals. It is the latter part of this ambition that this position specifically relates.
The programmatic support to Ethiopian young professional relates to the ‘Young Impact Associates’ (YIA) component in which we will select 12 recent graduates to join a 12 month training scheme ran by the Triple Line programme team in Addis Ababa. The goal of the YIA Programme is to strengthen and inspire the next generation of African evaluation leaders, facilitate their access to dignified and fulfilling work opportunities, and promote a practice that puts at the centre the communities the client intends to serve with their work.
We are part way through the design process; we have strong guidance from the Client, lessons learnt from sister country YIA programmes, a recruitment process in place, and the early draft of a curriculum. We are now seeking a coordinator to pull together all the components, own the process, and drive this component from planning through to delivery.
Roles and responsibilities and the specific tasks you will undertake:
- With input from other team members (including the curriculum developer, trainers, and operations teams) and the client, lead on the coordination of the YIA programme;
- Lead on the end-to-end recruitment and induction process of 12 trainees;
- Own the curriculum timetable, ensure the trainees and trainers are in the right place at the right time;
- Facilitate the group reflection and peer learning sessions; and ensure all trainees are following their personal learning plans;
- Coordinate the graduate placement sessions – liaising with potential partner organisations on requirements, and learning objectives;
- Be the primary point of contact for the trainees for training, and logistical matters;
- Ensure all equipment and materials are in place for the graduates and the trainers;
- Identify, coordinate and oversee the work of other team members who will work with, coach and mentor the trainees and hold classroom learning sessions. This includes developing clear guidance for trainers and ensuring consistency of style and methods;
- Collect regular feedback from the YIA’s to help adapt and improve the capacity building programme;
- Support the YIA’s in post-training next steps and employment opportunities, and the development of a supportive peer network.
