Job Description Terms of Reference
Innovation in Non-Traditional Vocational Education and Skills Training (INVEST) The INVEST is a 5-year initiative being implemented by WUSC which is aimed at building sustainable pathways to enhance economic empowerment, well-being and inclusive growth for 5,000 urban marginalized young women in Accra, Kumasi, and Sekondi-Takoradi, Ghana. Working in high growth sectors, the initiative will test and scale innovative, sustainable models to improve the enabling environment, reduce gender-specific barriers to women’s economic participation, and enhance access to decent work for marginalized women in non-traditional sectors. Overall, INVEST contributes to sustainable development goals related to Poverty reduction, Quality Education, Gender Equality, Partnerships, Decent work & Economic growth. Visit www.theinvestproject.com for more information Background & Rationale As part of the project’s significant outputs to achieve its overarching goal, it promotes and pilots specialized academic sponsorship schemes, including industry sponsorships for marginalized women to access market-relevant skills training. The INVEST project is driven by inclusive market systems approach to pursuing a level of change that goes beyond symptom and surface level to address root cause of problems, sustainably and at scale. Thus, with a commitment to transforming systems, integral across all its interventions, the scholarship scheme is being anchored on Ghana Chamber of Construction Industries (GhCCI) as a strategic partner to leverage resources, expertise, network and ensure that skills development aligns with evolving labor market trends to foster employment opportunities. INVEST also strengthens capacities and catalyzes partnerships with governmental, private sectors, academia, etc. within the ecosystem to maximize the positive impacts and create lasting change. Just like any project, the INVEST has triple constraints- i.e., its bound by budget, scope and time. Being in final phase of implementation, it is very essential to set up a blended finance mechanism through GhCCI to sustain and scale up sponsorship of the scholarship scheme beyond INVEST project’s lifespan. WUSC is seeking the services of an experienced Resource Mobilization Advisor to collaborate with the Ghana Chamber of Construction Industries (GhCCI) in setting up a blended finance mechanism which would support lifelong learning, skills development, entrepreneurship, and decent employment creation for marginalized women in high-growth non-traditional sectors and ultimately contribute to sustainable development.
