custom-made web portal and content provision system for the Work-based Learning model
The objective of the intervention “Developing skills for employability of Syrian refugees and vulnerable youth in Jordan” is to enhance employment outcomes, particularly for Syrian and vulnerable Jordanian youth and women, and more specifically to develop skills for semi-skilled workers in cooperation with the private sector.
This intervention is a part of a larger programme, QUDRA II. QUDRA II is the second phase of a large multi-country, multi-donor programme named “Qudra– Resilience for Refugees, IDPs, Returnees and Host Communities in response to the protracted Syrian and Iraqi Crises”.
The overall objective of QUDRA II is “to contribute to mitigating the destabilising effects of the protracted Syrian and Iraqi crises and to better respond to the resilience needs of refugees, internally displaced persons (IDP), returnees and host communities”.
The intervention “Developing skills for employability of Syrian refugees and vulnerable youth in Jordan”, is to be achieved through the following objectives, a) effective partnerships between vocational training institutions and private enterprises contributing to demand-driven and work-based vocational training, b) training of 2000 Syrian refugees and vulnerable Jordanian youth including 40% women, and c) improving human resource management of private enterprises.
Work-based Learning (WBL) is defined by the European Centre for the Development of Vocational Training (CEDEFOP) as the acquisition of knowledge and skills through carrying out – and reflecting on – tasks in a vocational context, either at the workplace or in a vocational education and training (VET) institution.
As WBL has been defined as a form of learning at the workplace and refers specifically to the attainment of learning outcomes based on a planned programme to perform a role or practice a job to gain experience and expertise, Enabel and a part of its intervention “Developing skills for employability of Syrian refugees and vulnerable youth in Jordan” demanded to train youth at the institutional level to prepare them for today’s labour market and further link them with workplaces in both the public and private sectors to undergo WBL and increase their changes in securing a job.
Towards the achievements of Enabel objectives, pertaining to developing the Jordan Work-based Learning model, Enabel organised four webinars involving participants from local and international stakeholders in the employment, vocational and technical education, and training sectors. Efforts continued to aggregate on the outcomes of the webinars through the formation of three working groups which were held to tackle and discuss the best practical steps towards building Jordanian WBL model composed of participants representing the various stakeholders in the employment and TVET sector. Those participants were assigned to develop the draft of Jordanian model of the WBL, consequently and in collaboration with the concerned stakeholders, efforts have been endeavoured at developing work approaches, technical and vocational training programmes responsive to enhancing employment opportunities for youth and vulnerable groups in Jordan by targeting the skills mismatch between labour market demand and skills supply.
The idea behind the establishment of the web-portal is to create a robust and reliable Work-based Learning (WBL) platform that centralises all information including the international definitions and abbreviations of the WBL. The portal will only allow registered users to accessibility to the most relevant information for the WBL context.
This portal can provide all the tools and templates in reference to the WBL model via the web-portal. However, The platform will allow registered stakeholders to extract document-s, model-s, information, and further engage directly with WBL-related data in a transparent, accountable, and easily accessible technological fashion.
The main objective of this assignment is to design, develop and implement a public-facing website as a custom-made web portal for the WBL model to effectively demonstrate the WBL approach in a digitalised web environment. This step will help keep pace with today’s technological demands and trends to increase the effectiveness and awareness of the WBL approach through the provision and availability of model-related documents to the stakeholders and target audience.
Under the guidance and supervision of the acting intervention manager and communication officer of Enabel, this assignment intends to engage a vendor (consultant or/ and website development agency) to help with the transformation of the WBL Model into a digitised web-portal that will also help in achieving the following objectives;
As Enabel intends to showcase WBL through the lense of a digitised web-portal that will support integration registration, mobilisation and assembeling stakeholders to a one-stop hub through a management information system, with a subdivided dashboard, drop-down list and categorised toolbar, search engine and menue bar. The contracted vendor shall develop a user-friendly web-portal, in accordance with the approved model by the GoJo strategy and implementation plan that entails creating a dedicated online information portal that effectively captures and shares information on the WBL policies and programme.
