This vacancy is open for the applicants with the citizenship of an OSCE participating State, excluding the Republic of Serbia.
The OSCE Mission to Serbia and its Security Co-operation Department (SCD) are supporting the Ministry of Interior (MoI) of the Republic of Serbia to consolidate its training function within the on-going police reforms. In line with the Mission’s Unified Budget Project No. 2400806, and based on needs identified by the MoI, the SCD is providing in 2020 a two-week Training Evaluation Course for ten staff members of the MoI’s Centre for Police Training. The SCD has been supporting the MoI in various steps of the development of police training system and has from 2003 supported the development and implementation of a comprehensive Training Development Programme (TDP) consisting of Curriculum Development and Training Evaluation Courses. The comprehensive TDP was handed over to MoI in 2010 and since then the MoI has undergone significant changes, especially within the MoI’s human resource management and public administration reforms, as well as the European integration process. Having in mind the importance of the capacity of training structures to respond to growing requirements posed by the reform agenda and project-based training activities, the SCD provided in 2019 support for the delivery of the four-week Curriculum Design Course, and will in 2020 support delivery of a two-week Training Evaluation Course in order to support a training system to deliver quality police training curricula and police training evaluation.
The Mission is therefore looking for an international consultant to deliver the course to the employees of the MoI’s Police Training Centre, designed to enable participants to perform evaluation of police training with the focus on transfer of learning, impact, effects of training, trainers’ performance, quality of the training programme, and the delivery of training.
