Junior Expert E-learning in Continuous Professional Learning job at Enabel

Summary
Date Posted: Monday, March 24 2025, Base Salary: Not Disclosed

JOB DETAILS:
Enabel, the Belgian development agency, has been implementing Belgium's international development policy for almost twenty-five years. Our mission is to contribute to the achievement of sustainable development goals. Every day, our teams strive to build a sustainable and equitable world.
The agency manages more than 170 projects in 21 countries. One of these projects is the Junior Programme, a real professional springboard and a promoter of global awareness. It has been running since 2006.
Its aim is twofold: to promote sustainable international solidarity by recruiting young European talent and enabling them to develop their skills abroad.

Junior Programme
With this vision in mind, the Junior Programme defines itself as a "talent spotter" and a "career booster".
Through their experience talents develop the competences to actively and sustainably engage in achieving the Sustainable Development Goals. The Junior Programme aims to make them active and critical global citizens who are committed to the SDGs.
The Junior Experts work minimum 1 and maximum 2 years in an Enabel project or in a project of one of the Non-governmental organisations (NGO) that are affiliated with the Junior Programme.
The Junior Programme only accepts young people of maximum 30 years old.


Despite progress in primary education enrolment, Uganda has not met its goal of ensuring learner competencies in literacy and numeracy. The 2023 National Assessment of Progress in Education showed only 42.7% of Grade 6 learners were grade-level proficient in English literacy. The project aims to support the MoES (Ministry of Education and Sports) and district local governments in improving the foundational literacy and numeracy of P3–P5 learners in government-aided primary schools through UCatchUp, while strengthening government systems to sustain and scale the model.

Main Activities of the Project
• Capacity building of district-level government structures, including inspectors of schools, education officers, and master trainers
• Training and mentoring of school-level implementers, (school leaders, school-based mentors and teachers) by district structures.
• Integrating UCatchUp into national government systems.
• Evidence gathering to support future further investment.

Job description
The JE will be instrumental in the design and development of a UCatchUp CPD course for in-service (and in future, pre-service) primary school teachers. This work will directly support the scaling of UCatchUp, helping to build a sustainable framework for UCatchUp teacher training. The JE will play a pivotal role in designing and developing the CPD course content and collaborate with key stakeholders including the MoES Teacher Education Development and Training (TEDT) department and the Uganda National Institute for Teacher Education (UNITE) to align the course with existing standards. The JE will also assess the feasibility of delivering this CPD course in a blended format by analysing the digital landscape, ensuring compatibility with existing infrastructure for teacher participation
