Established in 1951, IOM is a Related Organization of the United Nations, and as the leading UN agency in the field of migration, works closely with governmental, intergovernmental and non-governmental partners. IOM is dedicated to promoting humane and orderly migration for the benefit of all. It does so by providing services and advice to governments and migrants.
The International Organization for Migration in the United Kingdom (IOM UK) is looking for a qualified Consultant to develop a resource booklet on employment, volunteering and opportunities for further study in Northern Ireland to support the Skills Reintegration and Training (STAR) Project.
Project Context
IOM UK delivers a range of programming to support migrants, both in the UK and internationally, including projects focusing on labour migration, resettlement, migration and development, migrant protection, human trafficking and modern slavery, and community cohesion. The Skills Training and Reintegration (STAR) Project has been developed by IOM UK and is currently being implemented in Belfast to “contribute to improving employment opportunities and labour market integration for potential male victims of modern slavery and human trafficking in Northern Ireland”. From February 2024 to December 2024, the STAR Northern Ireland programme is providing 12-week in-person training courses to group of 6-10 people, running three times throughout the year.
The programme has two outcomes which include:
1.Participants improve their skillsets, knowledge and confidence in relation to finding employment in the UK.
2.Participants put learning into practice and plan individual next steps.
Under the first outcome, three months of skills training is provided, covering modules on digital skills, life skills and employment skills. In addition, personalised one-to-one support is provided to help participants put the learning into practice and to apply skills when identifying or applying for opportunities.
Under the second outcome, IOM plans to provide participants with an information and resource booklet containing information about employment, volunteering and additional study opportunities in Northern Ireland.
The consultant will be responsible for developing an Information and Resource Booklet on employment, volunteering and additional study opportunities in Northern Ireland, to provide to participants and ensure sustainable learning beyond the life of the STAR training. In doing so, the consultant should include a range of accessible and appropriate tools, methods and resources within an information document. The consultant should review the current training content of the STAR programme utilising current tools to ensure the resource booklet is aligned, and include new resources and learnings as required. The consultant will report to the supervision of the Senior Project Associate in Belfast, and the Senior Programme Coordinator in London, and with other relevant IOM Units.
