English Language Training for Individuals in Oxfam Jordan

Oxfam is a global movement of people who are fighting inequality to end poverty and injustice. Across regions, from the local to the global, we work with people to bring change that lasts.

1.BACKGROUND AND CONTEXT

Oxfam has been active in Jordan since the 1990s, working with local partners to promote a future where women and youth can reach their full potential. Through humanitarian assistance for Syrian refugees and vulnerable Jordanians, Oxfam addresses urgent needs while driving long-term solutions to the socio-economic challenges faced by Jordan’s most vulnerable communities. Our efforts are grounded in building community resilience and using evidence from our projects to advocate for change at the policy level.

Following a recent Training Needs Assessment Survey, we have identified priority areas for Oxfam staff development. To bring this plan to life, we are seeking experienced training providers who can deliver high-quality and impactful training programs across these key areas, helping us strengthen our team and maximize our efficiencies.

2.SPECIFICATION OF English Language Training REQUIRED

The objective of these trainings is to enhance the English language proficiency of our team. A total of 16 staff members have expressed interest in participating, and since we are not yet certain of their current skill levels, they will be required to complete a placement test to determine the appropriate learning category.

The selected training provider will be responsible for designing and delivering tailored English-language training for our staff. The training should be practical, relevant to Oxfam Jordan’s humanitarian and development context, and include both pre- and post-assessments to measure progress and learning outcomes.

If the supplier wishes to propose modifications to the specification (which may provide a better way to achieve Oxfam ´s objectives) these must be considered as an alternative offer. The Supplier must make alternative offers in a separate letter to accompany the offer. OXFAM is under no obligation to accept alternative offers.
