UNICEF works in some of the world’s toughest places, to reach the world’s most disadvantaged children. To save their lives. To defend their rights. To help them fulfill their potential.
Across 190 countries and territories, we work for every child, everywhere, every day, to build a better world for everyone.
And we never give up.
Brazil faces significant challenges as it navigates the transition of its vast youth population into the workforce. With over 49 million individuals aged 15 to 29, prioritizing educational opportunities, professional training, and digital inclusion is crucial to avert potential social and economic risks. Early issues, like rights violations for 32 million children and educational delays for 5.3 million, set the stage for larger problems. The One Million Opportunities initiative, launched in 2020, strives to address these issues by providing skills development, apprenticeships, and employment opportunities for vulnerable youth, creating over 300,000 opportunities to date.
Purpose
Under the supervision of the Programme Officer, this consultancy is expected to perform activities to enhance One Million Opportunities (1MiO) initiative to provide skills and employment opportunities and policies for vulnerable young people. The consultant will provide technical support for the implementation of the Life Project methodology on the training front of the 1MiO initiative in the states of Minas Gerais, Rio Grande do Sul, Sergipe and Maranhão (through a partnership with the Institute of Education, Science and Technology of the State of Maranhão – IEMAs).
Expected results:
1. Expected result: Review and adapt the life project methodology of the 1MiO initiative.
2. Expected result: Produce, weekly, up to 10 reports, surveys, diagnostics, and general documents to build, maintain and develop 1MiO partnerships with state governments.
3. Expected result: Produce, monthly, one report on the progress, barriers and opportunities identified in 1MiO’s work with partner state governments.
