Call for External Collaborators -Strengthening Work-Based Learning Mechanisms in the HoReCa Sector in Kosovo – Lead Assessment and Guidance Development - ILO DWCT Budapest/HoReCa Kosovo (Албания - Тендер #66253776)

Description

Dear Bidder, The International Labour Office (ILO) is looking for an individual to undertake work as an External Collaborator. Below is a summary of the work to be performed: In close collaboration with a local expert, the External Collaborator will lead the assessment of alternation-based training approaches in Kosovo’s HoReCa sector, ranging from formal dual VET models to less intensive forms of work-based learning. The assessment will cover the performance, quality, and operational arrangements of WBL provision; employer involvement and practices; and the perspectives of students and training providers on the relevance, effectiveness, and challenges of WBL. It will also examine the roles of intermediary institutions and review existing provisions for student safety, including insurance coverage, protection against work-related accidents, health risks during workplace training, safeguards against violence, sexual harassment, and discrimination in all forms. Drawing on identified constraints, the External Collaborator will lead the development of a comprehensive Guidance Note, outlining practical, context-specific actions to overcome demand- and supply-side barriers, as well as institutional and structural gaps affecting WBL effectiveness and quality. The External Collaborator will also compile and present good practices of WBL implemented in countries and sectors with contexts comparable to Kosovo, highlighting transferable elements and lessons learned to inform the Guidance Note’s recommendations. Please note that if travel is required for this assignment, the necessary travel costs will be covered by the ILO. If you are interested, please express interest and follow the instructions attached to consult the detailed terms of reference and other relevant information in the ILO e-sourcing platform. Please submit your proposal before the specified deadline. Thank you.
