Academic Advisor

Academic · Kigali, kigali

Position: Academic Advisor  (External Candidates only)

About Kepler

The challenge: All across sub-Saharan Africa, millions of young people struggle every day with access to education and employment – and the kinds of livelihoods that lead to economic security and mobility for themselves and their families. Every young person deserves the chance to be educated; every young person deserves the opportunity to have a meaningful job.

Who we are: Kepler is a nonprofit university program that is building a transformative model of education-to-employment services for these young people across the region. Our ultimate goal is to contribute to the economic mobility of thousands of individuals, families, and communities in all of our countries of operation. We want to reimagine what higher education can look like in sub-Saharan Africa.

What we do: Through a rigorous curriculum of in-person, online and on-the-job learning, Kepler students graduate with the relevant skills and the right attitude to meet the needs of the changing global economy. We partner closely with Southern New Hampshire University (SNHU) – a global leader in higher education – which allows our students to attain affordable, internationally recognized degrees while studying in East Africa.

Our history: Kepler launched in Rwanda in 2013. Our 50+ staff currently serve 550 students across two campuses in Rwanda – our flagship campus in Kigali, as well as a second campus in the Kiziba refugee camp in Western Rwanda, where we serve refugee learners.

The future: Kepler has an ambitious new strategy for the next five years, which will include launching in two new countries; expanding our academic offerings; partnering with other public and private sector universities; and reaching a new level of organizational sustainability.

The role includes supporting students to make adequate progress on their degrees through structured coaching and advising, facilitating various online and in-person support mechanisms, developing structured lessons that facilitate remediation, understanding, and extension of the SNHU degree projects, and collaborating with colleagues to aggregate data and make relevant recommendations and adaptations to the Kepler approach.

This position has non-traditional work hours that may require academic advisors to start work late, finish work late, and/or work on weekends. The position is equivalent to 45 work hours/week.

Job Responsibilities: 

  • Support student success in both the Kepler-based curriculum and SNHU degree work

Program Manager, Renewable Energy at SNV Rwanda: (Deadline 23 February 2021)

0

Company Description

Background

SNV’s mission is to support people to pursue their own sustainable development, where we leave no one behind. To do so sustainably, we need to address systemic issues that trap people into poverty and marginalization. Using a systems perspective[1] means we seek to find ways of changing the underlying structures and dynamics to sustain access to services and income generation over time and grow them further. Attention to systems change, including power dynamics and mental models, can increase the quality, depth, and sustainability of results as well as their continued growth.

As part of SNV’s Strategic Plan 2019-2022, the underlying ambition of systems change is to improve further our abilities to achieve and show systemic results beyond projects’ boundaries in space and time. Such abilities are expected to a) increase our impact, b) sharpen our professional approaches and quality, and c) position ourselves in an evolving donor landscape.

Within the Energy sector, SNV is a facilitator of commercially viable markets for renewable energy products and services for households and SMEs. SNV provides advisory services to private, public and non-governmental organizations for improved access to energy for underserved populations within rural, peri-urban as well as urban areas.

Job Description

Overview of programme

Due to its extremely high population density, Rwanda is one of the countries most vulnerable to deforestation. The high dependency on solid biomass for cooking, used in inefficient cooking devices, generates high emissions effecting the climate and the users health. Through a new project focused on clean cooking in Rwanda, SNV aims to the address these challenges by setting up a sustainable production and dissemination chain for improved cookstoves (ICS) as well as for improved or alternative fuel through a threefold approach: helping to increase production capacities, consumer awareness and dissemination density. The project will support a wide range of ICS (according to nationally determined priorities, quality and performance guidelines), giving the choice for people to adopt the technology most appropriate to their needs and means. Aimed at building a thriving viable and sustainable market benefiting local entrepreneurship, the project seeks to avoid market distortion by refraining from paying direct subsidies on the sales prices, and will rather build on incentives strengthening the value chain e.g. through results-based incentives and access to finance with existing microfinance institutions (MFIs). Producers of both ICS and biomass fuels will be enabled to grow and professionalize their businesses, e.g. transitioning to semi-industrial production with higher output and improved quality, eventually better serving the Rwandan market. It will also be aligned with the global (SDG’s), European and national goals.

The project will contribute to raise nationwide production of ICS to 200,000 per year with cumulative 500,000 ICS sold to households, productive-use-units (restaurants, tea factories etc.) and social institutions over the five-year implementation period.
