National Consultant to support the implementation of “Ajutor Angajare” methodology at the level of the National Employment Agency.Vacancy Number: Pr18/01767
Mr. Dumitru Vasilescu. Background
Since 2017, UNDP Moldova is partnering with a UK based Think-Tank to test a behavioural intervention approach in 14 Territorial Employment Centres focusing on the consultations between specialists and jobseekers - seeking to improve outcomes for jobseekers. The intervention will investigate whether altering the consultation process in Territorial Employment Centres by encouraging jobseekers to play a more proactive role in their job search, will help jobseekers find employment faster. The consultations have been designed to be jobseeker-led and centred around an employment plan as an instrument to support planning and job-seeking process. The employment plan involves goal-setting and planning to help jobseekers develop targets for their job search behaviours, commit to future actions, and bolster their sense of self-efficacy. Employment specialists provide feedback to jobseekers to help enhance goal-setting and task motivation. Given that the methodology of the intervention requires altering the way employment specialists communicate and support job-seekers, there is a need to continually support the specialists through discussing lessons learned and generating solutions to the daily issues encountered along the implementation of the methodology, which will continue until February 2019. Scope of work
UNDP is looking to employ a national consultant to support with the implementation of employment intervention. The consultant will need to travel to all 14 Centres implementing the methodology (12 outside Chisinau), evaluate the level of methodology implementation, provide guidance and support in improving the level of methodology understanding and implementation. As well, the consultant will support with organising joint meeting with the staff of employment centres, after jointly identifying the need for the meetings, and will support with developing targeted (motivational) communication messages for the employment advisors and job-seekers. In all the stages of the assignment, the consultant will continuously interact with UNDP Project Management, National Employment Agency and Territorial Employment Centres implementing the amended consultations. Support materials will be provided to the consultant which include the methodology guidelines and intervention protocol. Requirements for experience
