This vacancy is open only for the applicants with the citizenship of or permanent residence in the Republic of Serbia.
The OSCE Mission to Serbia has been a long partner of the Ministry of Interior (MoI) in the police education and training reform, and has supported the MoI throughout the process of developing the police training system. The development and implementation of a comprehensive Training Development Programme (TDP), which consists of a set of skills fundamental for police education, was supported by the Mission’s international trainers until 2010, when it was handed over to the MoI in order to ensure sustainability.
The next step would be to support the MoI in modernizing its training function within the ongoing reforms of human resources management. The Mission therefore requires the services of Curriculum Development Lead Trainer, who would design and deliver the Curriculum Development course to eight members of the MoI’s Centre for Police Training together with the Associate Trainer. The course would aim to equip the participants with up-to-date knowledge and skills, and to help them meet the overall police requirements in community policing, combatting organized crime and corruption, and other areas of police work.
