Scope of the work and deliverables
- Designed and implemented a marketing campaign to attract training program applicants (Over 4000 Applicants generated)
- Designed and implemented a selection process to identify training program invitees (Over 1000 program invitees)
- Designed and implemented an online classroom training course for the program participants (500 students trained)
- Designed and implemented an on-the-job guidance and mentorship program: After completion of the classroom training, the program accompanied certified program participants in completing at least one income-earning task on an online freelancer website, including through one-on-one mentorship sessions and check-ins. (From the 500 trainees, 270+ got successfully certified and 100+ of them found a freelancing job/project before the training program ended)
- Supported the preparation of a pilot impact evaluation report where the entire eligible candidate pool was surveyed as to labor market outcomes. The survey helped to prepare an impact evaluation report, including a summary of survey results, a cost-benefit analysis, an assessment of program achievements and lessons learned for future similar initiatives.
