Nairobi, Nairobi Area, Kenya Colleges and Institutes Canada Full time

Colleges and Institutes Canada (CICan) is the national, voluntary membership organization representing publicly supported colleges, institutes, cegeps and polytechnics in Canada and internationally.

Objectives of the KSTVET Facilitation and Project Management Training
The following are the specific objectives for the training:

Enhance Master Trainer Leads (MTLs) ability to create comprehensive project plans, including defining tasks, establishing timelines, and allocating resources effectively to ensure successful project completion within designated timeframes.

Develop Master Trainer Leads (MTLs) skills in producing clear and concise reports that align with project deliverables, ensuring accurate documentation of program data and outcomes for stakeholders.

Equip Master Trainer Leads (MTLs) with the knowledge and tools necessary to implement robust monitoring and evaluation systems, enabling them to assess project progress, identify successes, challenges, and lessons learned, and make informed decisions for future activities.

Foster an understanding of decision-making levels and empowerment within teams, encouraging Master Trainer Leads (MTLs) to promote collaborative decision-making processes that empower team members and enhance overall team effectiveness.

Enhance Master Trainer Leads (MTLs) emotional intelligence by increasing their awareness of their own emotions and those of others, enabling them to manage professional relationships more effectively, foster inclusivity, and embrace diversity within teams and trainees.

Equip Master Trainer Leads (MTLs) with effective coaching and mentoring skills, including active listening, empathy, and providing constructive feedback, to enable them to support the development of other Master Trainers (MTs) in enhancing their skills and abilities within the technical and vocational education and training (TVET) context.

Scope of Work
While utilizing participatory adult learning approaches, the consultant will focus the capacity building training in the following areas:

Project Management

Planning and proper time management
Report Writing

Aligning reporting with project deliverables to capture relevant program data
Identification of success and challenges/lessons learned to incorporate into future activities.

How to write a funding proposal and how the proposal translates into reporting (clear, metric-based deliverables, etc.)
Monitoring and Evaluation

Organization and Team Management

Focus on levels of decision-making / empowerment to make decisions. Perhaps they could consider this in terms of managing decisions within their own facilitator team.
4 levels of empowerment = 1) mgmt. decides, then informs staff; 2) mgmt. decides and gets staff input before deciding, 3) employees decide & recommend; 4) employees decide and act.

Note:
Observations during co-facilitation sessions is that KSTVET is, for the most part, operating a level 1 – progress towards level 2 or 3 (with more independent decision making my team members would be a reasonable goal.

Options for coming to consensus
Effective decision-making behaviours
Symptoms and causes of and resolutions for poor decision-making
Conflict resolution – conflict may arise during facilitated sessions, so facilitators should be equipped with conflict, mediate disputes, and promote constructive dialogue
Effective delegation – identifying the strengths of team members

Emotional Intelligence

Personal awareness and awareness of others

Ability to recognize one's emotions and those of others – and how this impacts those around you – as well as one's perception of others.

Using this awareness to more effectively manage professional relationships both in collaborative work and in a leadership role

Being inclusive and embracing diversity among team members and trainees. Facilitators should strive to create an inclusive environment where everyone feels welcome and valued. They should consider accessibility issues such as, visual, auditory and mobility impairments when designing activities and selecting materials.

Facilitation

Facilitation 10- exploration of the principles of facilitation: facilitators as neutral, active listeners, ask questions, paraphrase always, summarize discussions etc.


The stages of facilitation:
starting, during and ending a session

Creating conditions for full participation, removing blocks to participation (break the ice, clarify your role, clarify the topic, create buy-in etc.), using humour, making eye contact, setting up the learning space to encourage participation etc.

(Note:

we covered a lot of this.)

Coaching and mentoring

MTLs often serve as coaches and mentors to other MT helping them develop their skills and abilities. They should therefore possess strong coaching and mentoring skills such as active listening, empathy, and providing constructive feedback.
The consultant will also be required to provide transportation and accommodation for the resource persons, if applicable.

Facilitators/Resource Persons Requirements
