Submission deadline: August 24, 2026, by 11:59 PM Kyiv time
The Kateryna Osadcha Foundation is a charitable organization focused on addressing complex social issues that often fall outside the scope of state support.
The Foundation’s team consists of media professionals, volunteers, and experts united by shared values: freedom, dignity, openness to new ideas, and agility. Following the full-scale invasion in 2022, the organization focused its efforts on supporting children who have lost their parents, searching for missing civilians, and providing career guidance for youth.
The Foundation operates through charitable contributions and donor funding, in close partnership with UNICEF Ukraine.
The program is implemented by the Kateryna Osadcha Foundation in partnership with UNICEF Ukraine, expanding the parties' previous collaboration across two strategic areas: communication for social and behavioral change (SBC) in child protection and alternative care, and the development of career management skills for youth.
The "Better Care" component extends the Foundation’s proven operational model to humanitarian regions and areas affected by hostilities (Cherkasy, Chernihiv, Kirovohrad, Sumy, Ternopil, and Zaporizhzhia regions), where children face increased risks of family separation and institutionalization. Implementation includes family picnics and photo exhibitions in communities, new episodes of the documentary series "A Family for Every Child," support clubs for caregivers and teenagers, and a national mentorship program featuring public figures.
The "Career Management Skills" component addresses a national priority identified by the Ministry of Economy of Ukraine and the State Employment Service: bridging the gap between education and youth employment. Building on the pilot program "My Path — Career Trajectories," this component involves refining an evidence-based methodology, packaging it into a replicable toolkit, training municipal practitioners using a training-of-trainers approach in 5 communities, and building the capacity of the State Employment Service to apply SBC approaches in communication with youth.
This position is implemented as part of the activity "Building the Capacity of the State Employment Service (SES) to Apply SBC Approaches to Youth Career Engagement," which is a component of the "Career Management Skills" section of this Program.
This activity includes training that will provide SES specialists with the skills and tools necessary to independently conduct behavior change communication aimed at youth and caregivers regarding career development.
Combining structured training with practical, ready-to-use tools will enable state institutions to continue performing career guidance and youth engagement functions after the activity implementation period concludes.
This activity is part of the Program's broader systems strengthening strategy, aimed at building the capacity of national-level government agencies to support the recovery of human capital.
Provision of services for the development and implementation of a digital content dissemination strategy, coordination of digital/video content production, and technical support for the online components of a training program for State Employment Service (SES) representatives as part of a capacity-building activity on youth career engagement. Services are to be provided by an individual entrepreneur (FOP) or a legal entity with proven experience in digital communications.
Period: 12 months
Workload: Full-time (100%)
Form of cooperation: contract with a Group 3 individual entrepreneur (FOP)
