World Vision Training of Trainers Advisor Jobs in Kenya
The position of Training of Trainers Advisor will manage the implementation of an interagency project meant to provide support across partner agencies in East and Southern Africa. World Vision is an active member of the interagencyTraining of Trainers (TOT) Working Group (WG), which is a working stream within the sector-wide Learning & Development (L&D) Collaboration Group. WVI has made a significant contribution to the development of the TOT framework leveraging previous WVI internal work in this area. Save the Children, another key member of the WG submitted a proposal to fund a pilot TOT Programme, to IKEA with which they have a 10 year funding agreement and receive tranches of funds every three years for various L&D initiatives across the Save the Children partnership.
The aim of this project is to build a wider pool of high-quality expert trainers in the humanitarian sector. These trainers will a) enable the continued roll-out of our highly-regarded capacity building programmes; but also, b) deliver short, bespoke, ‘unpackaged’, modularised versions of these for Country Offices at scale using our expanding bank of humanitarian training curricula. This is to ensure that high quality learning programmes can take place at all levels but especially, the field level. This position would build the capacity of staff to facilitate humanitarian learning across organizations and across the two regions.
