Borlaug Institute, Multi Location
The Borlaug Institute leads international food security and agricultural development programs for the Texas A&M University System (TAMUS). Named in honor of the Nobel Peace Prize winner, “Father of the Green Revolution,” and faculty member at Texas A&M University for a quarter of a century, the Borlaug Institute continues Dr. Norman Borlaug’s legacy of improving global food security, livelihoods, and resilience through applied agricultural science, research and extension. The Borlaug Institute’s mission is “To help elevate small-holder farmers out of poverty and hunger through agricultural science.”
The USAID Women’s Scholarship Endowment (WSE) Activity assists Afghan women in obtaining a university education in a science, technology, engineering, or mathematics (STEM) field of study, better enabling them to overcome barriers to gaining employment, raise their incomes, and helping them achieve leadership roles in their families, communities, and government in positions of influence in the public and private sectors, thereby ensuring a balance of voices and perspectives. WSE builds capacity of partner Afghan higher education institutions so they may learn to manage the scholarship program, eventually taking over management of the scholarship program, thereby ensuring its sustainability. WSE also supports career readiness and women’s empowerment initiatives for beneficiaries to assist them in attaining a professional position, and thereby preserving empowerment successes of these women.
The Career Readiness and Women’s Empowerment Manager will lead program efforts to provide career readiness and women’s empowerment training to WSE scholarship recipients to promote and assist their career planning, while giving them the confidence and leadership skills needed for success. The Manager will supervise WSE’s career readiness and women’s empowerment staff and will collaborate closely with the Borlaug Institute and WSE staff to develop a program to advance the professional capacity of the scholarship recipients and facilitate internship opportunities, so WSE scholars are more likely to acquire professional employment in their chosen field after graduation.
The Career Readiness and Women’s Empowerment Manager will report to the Deputy Chief of Party.
