Are you also worried that the B40 are left behind in the rapid evolution of digital technology?
In SOLS Foundation we work to solve precisely that problem through our educational programmes. We are looking to expand our Digital Skills Training team and you may be the right person for that.
We’re searching for a candidate who will work on creating and teaching Digital Skills modules within the team and for the B40. Classes are delivered online and in-person, in Kuala Lumpur and also in other locations throughout the country, including remote rural and interior areas (Orang Asli communities).
You should be excited to implement teaching via innovative tools like Google Workspace, Google apps for Education and other online resources (training will be provided), and experiment with creative teaching approaches.
We welcome candidates who are open to learning on-the-job and have a passion to affect change.
