About the project

📝 Detailed information

💼 What the programme involves

The Vocational Skills Coordinator volunteer will support the planning, coordination, and implementation of vocational training projects to enhance employability and entrepreneurship for youth and marginalized groups. The role involves engaging with trainees, trainers, vocational institutions, and local stakeholders to improve access to quality vocational education. Responsibilities include organizing skills development programs, facilitating career guidance, and supporting monitoring and evaluation efforts to assess impact. Volunteers will contribute to stakeholder collaboration, capacity building, and awareness campaigns that promote vocational training as a viable career pathway, fostering economic independence and sustainable livelihoods for beneficiaries.

🏠 Accommodation on site

GDCA provides accommodation in a furnished one- or two-bedroom self-contained flat with essential utilities, including water, electricity, internet, and satellite TV. Volunteers will have basic kitchen facilities to prepare meals. Alternatively, meals can be purchased from restaurants or vendors with caution. Transport for official duties is provided, but personal travel expenses are the volunteer’s responsibility. Local taxis and tricycles are available for commuting. Foreigners can drive but must obtain an international driver’s license.

🎒 Leisure activities

As part of the BRIDGE Project (Building Resilience, Innovation, Development, and Gender Equality), volunteers will work toward empowering vulnerable communities, especially women. Training includes skills development workshops, digital literacy enhancement, participation in UN Women Summits, and facilitating digital training sessions. Volunteers will gain hands-on experience in capacity building, stakeholder engagement, and social impact-driven project execution while refining leadership and communication skills.

ℹ️ Additional information

The project is implemented under the European Solidarity Corps Programme, financed by the European Commission.
The participating organisations have to be mindful of these needs as they are responsible for providing a respectful and trusting hosting environment. At the same time, the organisations participating in the initiative devote a great deal of time, energy and resources to set up a high-quality activity; they should therefore expect that European Solidarity Corps participants show a similar level of respect for the local communities and the people that are directly concerned by the activities (https://youth.europa.eu/solidarity/mission_en).
