ABOUT CUSO INTERNATIONAL
Cuso International is a non-profit development agency that works through volunteers. Each year, we send hundreds of global citizens to work on collaborative development projects in more than 20 countries in Africa, Asia, Latin America, and the Caribbean. We are one of North America's leading international development organizations that works through volunteers.
ABOUT THE PARTNER
The College of Education, Akwanga, is the only College of Education in the newly formed (1997) State of Nasarawa. It is training nearly 2000 teachers through its full-time and part-time courses. These teachers will work in Primary and Junior Secondary schools. The qualification offered by the College is the National Certificate of Education (or NCE), which has become the minimum standard for primary school teachers in Nigeria and the part time NCE course in particular is upgrading the skills of practising, unqualified teachers in order to improve national standards of education.
The stated aim/vision of the National Commission of Colleges of Education is that: “The Nigeria of our collective dream is one that is free and democratic, just and egalitarian, united, strong and self-reliant with a great and dynamic economy and above all, a land full of bright opportunities for all the citizens. These national goals also underlie the philosophical ideals of Nigerian education, of which the NCE program is one concrete manifestation.”

Likely duties for this placement include:
1. Identifying IT solutions to streamline college processes and lobby the college to invest in necessary resources
2. Improving ICT infrastructure and communications in the College.
3. Developing an ICT strategy for the college.
SKILLS AND QUALIFICATIONS
• Degree in IT-related subject
• Minimum 3 years' experience working with various IT systems and software

• Attendance at a Cuso International assessment day (candidates are expected to cover the first $150 of the most cost-effective travel expenses and accommodation costs).

• Return airfare and visa/permit (this includes a return flight in the case of a family emergency).
