Entrepreneurship Trainer – Personal Initiative Method at HRNS Tanzania May 2025 – Jobs in Tanzania

Entrepreneurship Trainer – Personal Initiative Method
Background:
The
SAfA Tanzania Project aims to support over 50,000 young men and women
aged 15–30 in Arusha, Kilimanjaro, Mbeya, and Songwe who are currently
facing uncertain futures. The project seeks to improve their life
prospects through better access to education, income opportunities, and
health services, while fostering a more youth-friendly and inclusive
environment. This is achieved through a multisectoral approach
implemented by three partners: Deutsche Stiftung Weltbevölkerung (DSW)
Tanzania, Hanns R. Neumann Stiftung (HRNS) Tanzania, and Kühne
Foundation (KF) Tanzania.

Together, they bring complementary
expertise to promote skills development for gainful employment, enhance
agricultural practices, optimize health supply chains, and improve
reproductive health education with a focus on gender responsiveness.
They also work to increase the uptake of youth-friendly health services.The
project’s integrated and holistic model is expected to generate
significant, sustainable impact, which will be closely monitored through
rigorous evaluation. Lessons learned will support ongoing local
capacity building and inform future scaling and replication in Tanzania
and beyond.

Position: We are seeking motivated and
adaptable trainers to participate in a short-term but intensive training
for youth entrepreneurs. Candidates will receive three weeks of
training/support in an innovative training method, known as Personal
Initiative (PI) training. In the context of scientific studies in
training administrations undertaken by major international organizations
including the World Bank, this PI training has shown to be more
effective than traditional business training methods. These “train the
trainer” sessions will take place online and in person in Usa River.

After
having been trained, candidates are expected to deploy the training
method to four groups of trainees in the Arusha and Kilimanjaro regions
across the course of four weeks in July/early August. Finally, trainers
will follow-up with additional coaching supervision twice with training
groups in the weeks following the training.
