Operational context of the assignment

In response to the challenges facing both host communities and refugees, a new partnership initiative titled: PROSPECTS Partnership for improving Prospects for host communities and forcibly displaced persons’, has been launched by the Government of the Netherlands that brings together the International Finance Corporation (IFC), the International Labour Organization (ILO), the UN Refugee Agency (UNHCR), the UN Children’s Fund (UNICEF) and the World Bank. The overall objective of PROSPECTS in Kenya is to improve the living standards and inclusiveness of refugees, asylum-seekers and vulnerable host communities, by contributing to the expansion of socio-economic opportunities through better education and mainstreamed protection interventions.

A key partner of the ILO, the National Industrial Training Authority (NITA) is a state corporation established under the Industrial Training (Amendment) Act of 2011. Its mandate is to promote the highest standards in the quality and efficiency of Industrial Training in Kenya and ensure an adequate supply of professionally trained workforce at all levels in the industry. NITA is also responsible for developing industrial training curricula; Integrating labour market information into skills development; Harmonising curricula and certificates of competence; assessing industrial training, testing occupational skills and awarding certificates including Government Trade Test certificates.

In this regard, there is an ongoing undertaking between ILO, NITA and TVET stakeholders whose objective is to build the capacity of Industrial Training Officers (ITOs) in the digitization of curriculum; development of digital training materials, and training of ITOs in curriculum delivery using e-Platforms. In this undertaking, NITA and TVET stakeholders have already pointed out the identification of a suitable platform for use with digitised curriculum content as part of the main activities for the successful accomplishment of the undertaking.

The vision under digitising learning content for NITA and TVET stakeholders is to broaden their reach to youth groups across the country with more focus on people from marginalised communities as well as young people living in areas further apart from training centres. Another channel through which the reach of NITA and TVET training stakeholders offer will be broadened by digitisation is through employers and workplaces where employers and industry representatives can access the learning content and make it available at their workplaces.

Objective and scope of work

The objective of the assignment is to support organisations (ILO, NITA and TVET institutions) in the identification of sustainable and cost-effective technological solutions for the digitalisation of their TVET systems. The consultant will leverage data to assess processes; gather, validate, define requirements; and deliver data-driven recommendations and reports to key stakeholders and decision-makers, thus straddling the line between IT and business analysis.
