Coordinator - In Charge Of Relationships With Enterprises And Schools

CONTEXT The IECD is a French development organization operating in the field of international solidarity. It has been operating in Lebanon since 1989. Today, IECD and its local partners implement several Training and Professional Integration, Support to Small Enterprises and Access to Education and Health Care projects. The high rate of unemployment had previously led IECD and its partner, Foyer de la Providence, to intervene conjointly in the promotion, development and implementation of vocational education curricula in the industrial field. They developed as well a specialized school “Mosaik” targeting students with learning disabilities. The IECD in partnership with Foyer de la Providence is now launching a new project which overall objective is to gather companies, schools and youth in order to improve the youth employability, especially those most vulnerable, and to support companies' recruitment processes. This project is based on the organization of:  - Two orientation/job fairs aiming to enhance the dissemination of information on the jobs available in the labor market among young job seekers, mainly young vocational training students and graduates. It will be designed as well to help pupils thinking about their career path. - Orientation sessions in schools in order to provide guidance and support youth in building a professional path. In the framework of this project, we are recruiting a coordinator who will mainly be in charge of the logistical and operational organization of the two fairs, each fair lasting three days. To achieve this, s/he will have to convince companies and schools to participate in the project and promote establishment of relationships between them. In addition, s/he would raise awareness of CSR (Community Social Responsibility) and encourage companies to extend their recruitment to vulnerable groups. Then s/he will be in charge of implementing the orientation sessions.This activity will specifically target young people enrolled in the Technical Baccalaureate and will aim to inform them about the possibilities of professional progression and to present the main principles of the labor law focusing on commercial law. MISSION Coordination of the implementation of the fairs  Mobilize enterprises In cooperation with the project team: visit enterprises through Lebanon in order to explain the objectives of these events as well as their expected contribution.
