** BACKGROUND
* * RAI serves clients and communities through a diverse portfolio of programs aimed at five core outcomes:
Health, Safety, Economic Empowerment, Education, and Power. RAI’s Education & Youth work seeks to ensure children and youth are supported to overcome the challenges to their well-being, learning, and development wrought by forced migration, and gain the skills and knowledge to achieve their goals. This is accomplished through collaboration with affected communities, direct programs and services, training and technical assistance with formal and non-formal education systems and providers, and formal and informal partnerships.

RAI’s Learning and Impact department provides thought and practice leadership and training and technical assistance that helps IRC and partners grow and sustain high quality, evidence-based, impactful, and cost-effective programs. The Consultant will work with the Education & Youth team.
** SCOPE OF WORK

1) a project to transition IRC’s tutor training curriculum online;
2) a project to market and disseminate IRC education products developed for the New Jersey Office for Refugees (including e-courses, toolkits, etc.) and promote their use within and beyond New Jersey. Additionally, the PO will be a key driver of improving the knowledge management, dissemination, and promotion of the RAI Education & Youth technical support materials within the network and strategies and guidance for offices on promoting RAI Education & Youth work with relevant stakeholders in the U.S. and Europe.
