الوصف الوظيفي

Position Title : Code Academy Technical Instructor

Position Type : Regular, Full Time

Location : Mercy Corps Gaza Office

Duration : Eight Months with Three months’ probation period

Gaza Sky Geeks (GSG) is Gaza’s leading co-working space, tech education hub, and startup accelerator, run by Mercy Corps, a nonprofit international relief and development organization with programs in the occupied Palestinian territories since the 1980s. Mercy Corps founded GSG in partnership with Google.org in 2011. We bring together online freelancers, outsourcers, and startup founders together under one roof to share ideas, best practices, code, and build brighter futures through the power of the internet. Gaza Sky Geeks’ overarching goal is to build an internationally competitive technology ecosystem in Gaza through online freelancing, outsourcing, and startups.

The GSG Code Academy is excited to announce a new opportunity to join our team.

The Code Academy Career Accelerator

For the next Career Accelerator program, we are changing the structure of our staff, and are looking for a senior, experienced developer to teach the technical content course. The instructor will be reporting to, and working very closely with, the Career Accelerator Lead, Ahmed Ajour, who will be leading the cohort, and responsible for its overall success.

Unlike in previous cohorts, where the course delivery has been mostly done by fresh graduates, with the support of a course facilitator, for the next cohort (starting in May), the instructor will be delivering most of the content, and the graduate mentors will be in the supporting role.

We feel that this will be beneficial for both the students on the course, and also for the mentors, who will have less pressure on them during their time mentoring, and will be able to revise and solidify their knowledge more easily. The graduate mentors will certainly still play a role in helping the students on the course, but they will not be expected to deliver workshops, unless they volunteer to, and the instructor agrees.
