Who are we?
The ACF USA Training Centre (TC), based in Nairobi, Kenya, was opened in 2009 to provide ACF with an
in-house capacity building and professional development hub for our staff. The TC gives our staff the
unique opportunity to access learning and training activities tailored to their contexts, work realities
and needs. We believe that investing in human capital not only strengthens employee satisfaction,
motivation and retention, by equipping them with the necessary knowledge, skills and attitudes to
carry out their work successfully, but ultimately also leads to better humanitarian outcomes.
Throughout the calendar year we run a number of learning events for our staff both in Nairobi and
globally. From technical workshops and trainings on Food Security, Nutrition, Water, Sanitation and
Hygiene to management trainings, Training of Trainers (ToTs) and project cycle management courses,
our activities allow our staff to develop their technical skills, their ability to work effectively in a team
and their management competencies.
In 2015 we plan to expand the scope and capacity of our training and facilitation activities.
Accordingly, we would like experienced and enthusiastic Learning and Development professionals to
join our team, on a freelance basis, as Associate Trainers and Facilitators.
What are we looking for?
We are looking for exceptionally skilled and committed trainers and facilitators who are passionate
about capacity building at all levels of a humanitarian organization, delivering innovative learning and
development activities, and being challenged in unexpected ways. Our Associate Trainers and
Facilitators can have varied backgrounds, profiles and experience but must be flexible, able to
integrate into a dynamic team and have a strong eye for detail.
Core trainings and facilitation areas organized by Training Center are indicated below, with additional
topics developed annually in response to program needs.
