Job Nature: Full-time (Contractual Up to December 2026, Might be Extended Upon Project Renewal)

Project Brief:

• Since 2022, under the technical guidance of UNHCR’s Livelihoods Unit, the Centre for Natural Resource Studies (CNRS) has been implementing comprehensive livelihoods and vocational skills development interventions for Rohingya refugees in Cox’s Bazar and Bhasan Char. As part of the UN Joint Programme for Skills Development (JPSD), also known as Improving Skills and Economic Opportunities in Cox’s Bazar (ISEC), CNRS delivers Level-1 vocational training aimed at enhancing employability and economic resilience among refugees.

• The vocational training component focuses on transferable, market-relevant skills aligned with labor market needs in both Myanmar and the refugee camp context. Training is provided in multiple trades, including Concreter (CON), Solar (PV) System Installation and Maintenance (SM), Caregiving (CG), Small Engine Mechanic (SEM), and Bakery and Pastry Staff (BPS). Beneficiaries are selected through a prequalification process that considers labor market demand, skill applicability, and individual suitability. The overall objective is to empower refugees with practical skills that support productive engagement within the camps and prepare them for potential return and reintegration into Myanmar.

• Complementing vocational training, CNRS also implements livelihoods interventions through multiple production centers—such as eco-friendly bag, reusable sanitary pad, apparel, and other income-generating units—where refugee women, particularly from female-headed households, participate in skill development and dignified work opportunities. These centers play a vital role in strengthening household well-being, enhancing economic self-reliance, and promoting community resilience.

• To further enhance labor mobility and employability, the Economic Mobility Pathways Pilot (EMPP) Programme—previously known as the Complementary Pathways Programme (CPP) and now implemented as Language and ICT Training—was introduced in late 2023. From 2024 onward, selected competent graduates from Level-1 vocational training receives additional support through English language training, work-readiness and cultural orientation, and basic ICT skills, based on a rigorous and holistic assessment process led by UNHCR. The project overall aims to improve employability, increase labor mobility, and promote economic empowerment among Rohingya graduates.
