JOB DETAILS:
PPosition Overview
Educate! is looking for enthusiastic, self-driven, passionate individuals with a great attitude to fill the Positions of; Procurement and Logistics Officer, Finance Officer, Stores & Logistics Assistant and Monitoring & Evaluation Coordinator (He-advertised) to join an overachieving team that is positioning Educate! to be the leader in skills-based secondary education in Africa and intensively impact one million youth each year by 2024.

About Educate! Educate! prepares youth in Africa with the skills to succeed in today‘s economy. We tackle youth unemployment by reforming what schools teach and how they teach it, so that students in Africa have the skills to start businesses, get jobs and drive development in their communities. Our model is delivered through practically-trained teachers and youth mentors. Educate!‘s goal is to make this practical, skills-based model part of national education systems.

in 2018, we’re working in 175 secondary schools in Rwanda, 60 pilot schools in Kenya, and over ?00 schools in Uganda reaching over 42,000 students intensively and 530,000 more broadly. Our model was proven to have massive impact in a randomized controlled trial. Graduates earned DOUBLE the income of a control group and had a 64% increase in business creation. Our graduates change their lives and their communities, such as Lillian Aero who employs over 100 AIDS-affected women.

In 2012, Educate! partnered with Uganda’s government to integrate curriculum and a student business club structure into Uganda’s entrepreneurship course nationally, and in 2015, we served as a technical advisor to Rwanda on its secondary education reform. Educate!‘s team includes nearly 200 staff and almost 300 volunteer youth mentors. We have been backed by top foundations such as MasterCard, Big Bang Philanthropy, Mulago, Echoing Green, Ashoka and Global innovation Fund. Educate! won the 2015 WISE Awards, and was featured by Bill Gates, an Al Jazeera documentary, Forbes 30 under 30, Clinton Global initiative and The Brookings Institution as one of 14 case studies in their global scaling education learning initiative

Educate’s vision for 2024 is to measurably impact 1 million students across Africa each year.
