ABOUT THE COMPANY:

Plan International is an independent child rights and humanitarian organisation committed to children living a life free of poverty, violence and injustice. We actively unite children, communities and other people who share our mission to make positive lasting changes in children’s and young people’s lives. We support children to gain the skills, knowledge and confidence they need to claim their rights to a fulfilling life, today and in the future. We place a specific focus on girls and women, who are most often left behind. We have been building powerful partnerships for children for more than 75 years, and are now active in more than 70 countries.

JOB SUMMARY

Plan International envisages a world in which all children and young people realize their full potential, a vision now shared by the 193 Heads of State and Government who adopted the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development in September 2015.

In Bangladesh, we have set our vision for 2030 as, ‘We will partner to empower girls and young women, to be heard, to live without fear of violence and to achieve their rights’. We have started the new country strategy in July 2020 aiming to achieve this exciting and ambitious vision. This would require the organization to have an effective, efficient and committed workforce willing to challenge the prevailing status quo, engaging men, women, boys, youth people, especially girls and bringing the best out of all to create synergy for movement at all levels – from community to national, and beyond.

The Role:

The Training Management Expert will play a pivotal role in advancing Plan International’s mission in Bangladesh by designing, implementing, and evaluating the training programs aimed at empowering girls, young women, and other marginalized groups. This role is essential in ensuring that all stakeholders, including partner organizations, government officials, and community members, receive high-quality training and capacity-building support to effectively contribute to the organization’s vision of promoting children’s rights and equality for girls.

What we’re looking for:

We need a self-motivated and energetic individual with Master’s Degree in Sociology, Social Work, Anthropology, Women’s Studies, or other related disciplines. He/she should have 10 years of specific experience in the relevant field with a proven track record and expertise in managing and facilitating training, orienting, and capacity building for diverse stakeholders, including partner organizations, government officials, community members, and various stakeholder groups. Should have proficiency in developing training guidelines to cater to the needs of service providers, staff, contractors, community groups, youth groups, employers, and other relevant stakeholders. Also, the ability to manage and facilitate trainings, with a focus on developing training guidelines tailored specifically for youth, especially females and disadvantaged groups. Demonstrate strong interpersonal and communication skills to effectively engage with stakeholders from diverse backgrounds.

He/she should have in-depth understanding of training methodologies, adult learning principles, and best practices in capacity building. Should be proficient in report writing, data analysis for decision-making, and participation in strategic planning processes. Also have proven ability to identify and mitigate project risks, along with the development of comprehensive contingency plans. He/she should be proficient in standard office software applications and familiar with project management tools and software for efficient resource allocation and reporting.
