Consultant for Core Skills Curriculum Review | Deadline : September 10, 2021
The Philippine Business for Education (PBEd) is a non-profit committed to improving lives through quality and relevant education. Our advocacy areas include teaching and learning, workforce development, and complementary education. YouthWorks PH is a project co-implemented by PBEd with the United States Agency for International Development, which aims to equip the youth with the skills necessary to be work- and future-ready. The project caters to youth who are not in education, employment, and training (NEET) aged 18-30 in the areas of Greater Manila Area, Cebu, Zamboanga City, Cagayan de Oro City and Gen. Santos City. Integral to the project is a core skills mentoring approach that covers life skills training and guidance.. As part of its emergency programming in light of the COVID-19 pandemic, the project adopted a distance learning and mentoring approach starting June 2020. The most recent developments in the pandemic, however, foreshadow a persistent reliance on technology-based platforms even in the “new normal,” in order to reach the youth NEET and continue upskilling them. Thus, this short-term engagement will endeavor to evaluate the relevance and applicability of its core skills curriculum, and provide necessary pivots. The consultant will provide short-term services to PBEd by (1) reviewing the current core skills curriculum; (2) re-designing the core skills curriculum to fit a standard eight-week design; (3) revising the implementation toolkit; and (4) coming up with guidelines for mentor onboarding and guidance for the use of the core skills curriculum toolkit.
