JOB DESCRIPTION: 
In the scope of RECONOMY programme, Help – Hilfe zur Selbsthilfe (in further text referred to as Help) started the implementation of the project “Inclusive jobs in ICT” in Moldova, Georgia, Armenia, and Ukraine, with the objective to enable women and youth up to 30 years of age, including the most disadvantaged and excluded groups, to benefit from economic opportunities by increasing their income and taking up decent/green employment/self-employment. The Programme is funded by the Swedish International Development Cooperation Agency (Sida) and is implemented jointly by HELVETAS Swiss Intercooperation (Helvetas) together with Help – Hilfe zur Selbsthilfe.
Part of the project strategic process is private sector engagement that focuses on a joint endeavour by the RECONOMY Programme and the private sector for greater scale, sustainability, and effectiveness of development outcomes. The project is built on three main pillars: skills and intermediation service development, business services development, and advocacy.
Background and Rationale:
Help has concluded a Partnership Agreement with BSC Business Support Center (
www.bsc.am) to tackle shortage of qualified personnel in the ICT sector and unequal economic and territorial development across Armenia and the EaP region. As a result of this partnership, BSC will involve in the development of the ICT labour market capacity building by developing commercially viable and inclusive non-formal training products, creating a community of ICT specialists, sharing on-site and remote job opportunities among ICT specialists of the field. To achieve regional scalability for the project activities, BSC will identify and establish partnerships with potential training providers, with a specific focus on targeting the Georgian market. It is expected that BSC will deliver soft skills trainers’ training (ToT) for both Armenian and Georgian trainers. Through these multifaceted initiatives, BSC aims to contribute significantly to the sustainable development of the ICT labor market, fostering a thriving ecosystem of skilled professionals and expanding opportunities for employment and growth.
Purpose: Implementation of pilot groups:
Pilot groups will be implemented to test and assess the effectiveness of the training products before launching them on a larger scale.
Intended users of the project:
All services are intended to support BSC’s operation in Armenia; therefore, all service products and outputs will officially remain in the ownership of BSC Business Support Center.
Approach and Methodology:
To ensure the successful implementation of the pilot groups and maximize the effectiveness of the training products, we will adopt a structured methodology:
- Content Development: Design and tailor training materials based on user feedback, ensuring they are relevant, engaging, and aligned with the set objectives;
- Pilot Testing: Launch the training products, carefully monitoring performance and gathering feedback to assess user satisfaction and overall product efficiency;
- Data Collection & Analysis: Track key performance indicators (KPIs), such as user engagement, learning outcomes, and product usability, to identify areas for improvement;
- Feedback and Iteration: Incorporate user feedback and data insights to refine and optimize the training materials and delivery methods before rolling them out on a larger scale.
This iterative process ensures the training products are thoroughly tested, user-focused, and aligned with the operational goals of BSC Business Support Center in Armenia.
