Contract
This is a UNV contract. More about UNV contracts.
The Joint United Nations Programme on HIV and AIDS is the main advocate for accelerated, comprehensive and coordinated global action on the HIV/AIDS pandemic. The Staff Development and Performance Division (SDP) has launched a series of onboarding microlearning courses that specifically cater to the needs and skillset of different UNAIDS departments, practice areas, and essentially all staff members.
As such, these onboarding courses act as an introduction to UNAIDS to new staff, or staff being relocated into a new role. They range from various skillsets essential to staff across the organization, including from Practice Areas overviews to Basics of HIV and many more.
As 5 new online courses have been launched primarily in English language, we are looking for motivated volunteers to help us in translating the contents into Spanish. In doing so, you will also learn a lot about the work of UNAIDS and the expertise of various staff members. The courses consist of microlearnings that vary from 5–10-minute lessons or 10-15 slides per lesson. Most courses are between 1-1.5 hours, though some may be longer depending on the topic covered. Since they have already been translated by AI, this will drastically cut the work time needed from the volunteer.
A minimum of 2-3 hours of time spent reviewing the translations per course may be expected. As such, the online volunteers will be needed for around 5-10 hours per week, depending on how many, and which courses they feel comfortable to review. In doing so, you will also learn a lot about the work of UNAIDS and the expertise of various staff members. Candidates should be fully available and committed to complete task/project assigned.
