What the grant funds

The U.S. Embassy in Mozambique of the U.S. Department of State announces an open competition for organizations to submit proposals for combatting unemployment, discrimination, and youth marginalization through English Language. This should be achieved through introduction, development, and implementation of a professional American English certificate course for the faculty members and final year students of Industrial and Commercial Institute of Pemba, as well as the creation of a separate short-term training course focused on developing technical skills, that will allow underprivileged youth in Cabo Delgado to qualify for job opportunities and/or create local jobs, which contributes to boosting the economy of the Province and economic prosperity for individuals. The applicant may also create with the help of an American expert or organization a separate English for Tourism course that can be implemented into the curriculum of the Hospitality and Tourism course of the Institute. The professionals that graduate from courses at the Industrial and Commercial Institute of Pemba, are often unable to fill the staffing gaps in the oil and gas industry in province of Cabo Delgado due to lack of English Language skills. The lack of employment for graduates, leads to discontent and youth marginalization. Additionally, English language for graduates in the areas of hospitality and management will be essential to revitalize the tourism sector of Cabo Delgado, which will create jobs and further foster a future of peace and stability. Priority Region: Cabo Delgado Program Objectives: The Public Diplomacy Section of the U.S Embassy in Mozambique is looking for organizations to submit proposals that in a period of 24 months will create and implement a professional American English certificate course for Industrial and Commercial Institute of Pemba’s faculty staff and final year students, and a separate English for Tourism course that may be developed in partnership with an American Expert or organization that can be implemented into the curriculum of the Hospitality and Tourism course. The creation of an English Club to complement skills learned in the classroom is also an integral part of the program. The organization should also be in position to design and introduce a curriculum that will allow the beneficiaries to provide English Language lessons for the student body at the Institute.
