RFQ 250903 - IECD/SDA Call for Sewing Trainer

The European Institute for Cooperation and Development (IECD) is a French non-governmental organization (NGO) founded in 1988 and operating in the field of social and economic development in partnership with local institutions. IECD’s main sectors of action are vocational training and professional integration, assistance to micro and small enterprises, and access to education for the most vulnerable. IECD has been operating In Lebanon since 1989 and opened a regional office in Beirut in 2007. 

Semeurs d’Avenir (SDA), association created in 2010, is the operational partner of IECD in Lebanon. As part of its partnership with IECD, SDA implements projects in entrepreneurship, education, training, and professional integration. 

The short trainings intervention aims to bring professional skills to young Lebanese and refugees through short-term (up to 4 months) vocational training programs targeting jobs with higher employment opportunities on the local labour market. Ten training programs are currently being offered: installation of solar panels, hospitality, plumbing, residential electricity, industrial electricity, heating and air conditioning, sewing, childcare, caregiver, and commis chef. These training programs include a personal development component that involves community activities and the improvement of personal skills. 

To support this project, IECD and SDA are searching for a technical trainer in sewing to facilitate trainings in South Lebanon. The sewing training is 220-hours, divided into 5 days (3 to 4 hours per day) for about three months.
