Joba – Project Management Intern (m/f)

Description

• Skills for Employment (locally known as JOBA) is a programme funded by the UK government with the aim of increasing the income of marginalised youth, with an emphasis on young women, through improved access to quality, affordable and market-relevant skills training. JOBA has three components with the following outputs:
• Component 1: expanded access, especially for disadvantaged school leavers, to affordable, relevant, quality, non-state skills training; through the award of grants made by the Employment Fund, JOBA catalyses and brokers linkages between employers and non-state training providers to provide access to skills training and get young people into work
• Component 2: strengthened capacity of non-state training providers
• Component 3: strengthened capacity of the Government of Mozambique to implement the private sector elements of the new TVET law
• Reflecting JOBA’s commitment to developing skills for employment, JOBA is offering a four-month internship in the area of Project Management. The internship will be a structured learning opportunity for a young Mozambican graduate to develop project management skills through employment with an international company and working on a development programme funded by UK Aid. The internship programme will be managed by the Team Leader. The Project Management Intern will report to the Project Manager
• The Project Management Intern will be based in Maputo at the JOBA Project Office. The internship is a full-time post within JOBA, starting in July 2019, for a duration of four months. In case of good performance, there is the possibility of being offered a staff position after the internship
• The overall objective of the Project Management internship is to support implementation of the programme’s management systems and procedures – which includes risk management, financial management, and procurement and contracting.
