Contract
This is a UNV contract. More about UNV contracts.
UNDP ICPSD’s SDG AI Lab implements the Future Tech Leaders (FTL) Programme to equip the next generation with cutting-edge digital skills. The Programme focuses on frontier technologies such as AI, machine learning, data science, GIS, and game development, while also strengthening entrepreneurship and leadership capacities. It primarily targets the labor force in developing countries, with a particular emphasis on youth.
Frontier technologies present leapfrogging opportunities in fragile contexts like Syria. The Future Tech Leaders Programme equips young people with frontier tech skills, builds local capacity, and supports pilot projects to reduce risks for partners and investors.
By linking training to urgent climate challenges, Syrian youth can create jobs, strengthen resilience, and open future-oriented employment and innovation pathways in a country facing acute unemployment.
The Online Volunteers will provide support with:
- Review the existing Python course materials and update the course materials, exercises and assignments in accordance with the Climate Resilience and latest best practices.
- Deliver "Applied Python for Engineering & Climate Systems" courses (16 hours in total throughout 2 weeks) ensure a comprehensive understanding among students in the absence of FTL Trainers (if necessary).
- Demonstrate practical skills through live coding sessions.
- Provide a pre-recorded demo for each session, if needed.
- Host office hours for addressing students' questions and assisting them for their assignments, teaching, and interaction with students (Evening sessions during the weekdays and morning sessions on the weekend).
The hours and workload will be discussed with the Online Volunteers.
