    Partnership and Communication:

    Program Development:
    In collaboration with colleagues, you will actively participate in refining and strengthening the Labour Mobility Program.

    This includes incorporating lessons learned from past cases, integrating feedback from clients and key stakeholders, and adapting or creating new processes as needed to improve the program's effectiveness.

    You will also lead activities towards developing or refining the program's database/s and the incorporation of any digital platforms to support the program including activities relating to monitoring, evaluation, reporting and learning.


    Refugee-Centredness:

    You will lead the team's efforts to ensure the Labour Mobility Program is implemented with a focus on refugee-centredness.

    This includes but is not limited to ensuring there is routine outreach to disseminate accurate and clear information to refugee populations seeking to access the program, consistent communication with refugees who are engaged in the program, and opportunities for refugees to provide feedback on their experience and ideas for program design and improvement (i.e., through focus group discussions, surveys, and other formal and informal feedback mechanisms).
