The EU-SWITCH Kenya – Tujenge Pamoja Project is offering four training positions to support practical circular economy education for micro, small, and medium-sized enterprises (MSMEs), communities, and informal-sector actors in Kenya. These roles focus on delivering structured training aligned with a Gender-Responsive Circular Economy Curriculum, covering plastic, organic, and textile waste value chains. The selected trainers will conduct 16 training sessions (80 contact hours total) from mid-October to December 2026, across eight counties: Nairobi, Kiambu, Nakuru, Machakos, Makueni, Mombasa, Kilifi, and Kwale. The application deadline is 22 September 2026.

This opportunity targets environmental, sustainability, or waste management professionals with a Bachelor’s degree in relevant fields and experience in training, facilitation, and adult learning, particularly in circular economy principles and participatory methods.

The role involves preparing and delivering training sessions, facilitating hands-on learning, and adapting content to diverse audiences. Applicants must submit a Curriculum Vitae (CV), an Expression of Interest, and three professional references via email by the deadline.
