ABOUT THE OPPORTUNITY:

Plan International Kenya, in collaboration with Plan International USA is undertaking a 9-month pilot project to launch an award-winning digital youth mentorship and employment platform in and around Nairobi. This platform, a WhatsApp & Web based career support and placement tech platform, helps youth gain career advice, apprenticeships / internships and employment while simultaneously benefiting employers through a more efficient hiring process and better-quality candidate selections.

As part of this pilot, Plan International will competitively identify a social enterprise – the Platform Operator – to build a sustainable business model around the Youth Employment Platform in Nairobi. Plan will provide technical assistance to the enterprise to make the business a success. This pilot will provide proof of concept and learning for expansion of the business model in other markets in Kenya and elsewhere. This is part of a global roll-out of the Youth Employment Platform that Plan International USA is pursuing.

Plan International seeks to hire an individual consultant – to support the project implementation as the Project Lead. The consultant will provide management and programmatic expertise to drive implementation of the Youth Employment Platform pilot, so that it is completed in the allotted timeframe, within budget.
