As part of the implementation of the SAFE-MIT Project, Youth Empowerment Society (YES) invites qualified consultants to submit applications for the following consultancy assignment:

Expert for the Development of a Youth Guidance Methodology and Practical Tools for Training, Employment and Socio-Professional Inclusion

This assignment aims to develop a standardized, practical, and adaptable methodology for guiding young people towards training, employment, and socio-professional inclusion, with particular attention to vulnerabilities associated with irregular migration.

The selected expert will design a coherent youth guidance pathway covering reception, needs assessment, identification of aspirations and skills, individual action planning, referral to appropriate services, follow-up, and case closure.

The assignment will also include the development of practical, editable, and print-friendly tools for use by YES staff, counsellors, facilitators, and partner practitioners. These tools will cover, among other areas:

  • Reception, registration, and informed consent.

  • Individual profiling and needs assessment.

  • Assessment of aspirations, competencies, and transferable skills.

  • Identification of barriers, vulnerabilities, and protection needs.

  • Training and employment objective setting.

  • Individual action planning.

  • Service matching and referral.

  • Referral and progress tracking.

  • Follow-up and case closure.

  • Beneficiary feedback and basic monitoring indicators.

  • Data protection, safe storage, and practitioner quality assurance.

The consultant will also prepare a practical user guide explaining how to administer, interpret, store, and follow up on each tool.

The assignment will be implemented remotely and will include online consultations with the YES project team, an online technical review and validation session, and one remote training and handover session.

The assignment does not include field visits, field verification, pilot testing with beneficiaries, direct beneficiary interviews, institutional audits, external evaluations, or project impact assessment.

The assignment will focus on Salé, Témara–Skhirat, Kénitra, Khémisset, and Sidi Kacem.
