Consultant for Multimedia

The YWCA of Jerusalem, located in Sheikh Jarrah East Jerusalem, is a membership-based women organization registered locally as non-governmental.  The YWCA works under four main thematic areas: Women and youth Economic Development, Women’s Rights Programs, Youth Leadership, Training and Civic Engagement as well as Children Education and Cognitive Learning.

Under the women and youth economic development, YWCA of Jerusalem has been offering, among others, a diploma in Multimedia where graduates acquire successful jobs and startups. Currently, YWCA of Jerusalem is aiming to upgrade this diploma specialization and make it compatible with the current market needs and technological advancements.

We seek to contract a professional consultant to support the restructuring and enhancement of the Diploma Multimedia specialization offered in one academic year covering the fields of multimedia concepts, visual production, (graphic design, video production and editing), audio production and integration, web and interactive media, portfolio and final project. The consultant will advise on the titles, outlines and curricula needed to offer this comprehensive specialization in one academic year (which is 300 hours) and supervise the implementation of the diploma specialization.

The beneficiaries are young females and males who do not necessarily have a background in Multimedia and are planning to start an employment path and/or a startup in this field.
