For our operations in Saudi Arabia / Riyadh, we are looking for
Lecturer / Professor / Teacher Trainer for Electrical Technology & Electronics at Technical Trainers College (TTC)
JOB-ID: 21983
Field of activity
The Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) GmbH (www.giz.de/en) established the first Technical Trainers College (TTC) in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia in 2009, an undergraduate higher education institution, comparable to a Fachhochschule in Germany, granting a Bachelor of Engineering Technology. Since August 2014, GIZ has been managing the TTC within the framework of a business-oriented model.
With a target capacity of up to 1500 students, TTC is a large institution that presently employs more than 75 faculty members from more than 10 countries (for additional information: www.ttcollege.edu.sa). Typical students who study at this “Training of Trainers” institution towards a vocational teacher and trainer qualification are young people of Saudi Arabian nationality, between 20 and 28 years of age. English is the medium of instruction. Recently, along with the introduction of fully-modularized curricula, a trimester structure superseded the delivery of teaching in semesters. Standards of the Common Quality Assurance Framework (CQAF), serving as a benchmark on European level, are adhered to and have been accredited in Germany.
TTC currently offers four study programs, each with different specializations: Mechanical Technology, Electronics & Electrical Technology, Information & Communication Technology, and Business Administration & Management. In addition to technical education, students at TTC will enroll in Vocational Pedagogy courses, which are an integral part of curricula closely interwoven with studies in the respective subject discipline.
Your tasks
The teacher trainer will be lecturing in the field of Electronics & Electrical Technology (EET). Teaching positions typically carry a teaching load comparable to German Universities of Applied Sciences (Fachhochschule). Previous teaching experience is essential. Responsibilities also include guidance of students during practical assignments, field visits and supervision of bachelor theses. Furthermore, additional tasks may include writing proposals and developing strategy papers.
Your profile
Assignment period
Starting date will be in August 2015. Contracts can be offered for the duration of two years with the option of renewal. Short-term assignments (one, two or three trimester) are also possible.
What we offer you
At TTC we provide interesting and challenging jobs in an international environment and the opportunity to work in a team of international experts in their respective fields, dedicated to excellence in education.
For our expert staff abroad in Saudi Arabia we provide a GIZ working contract including an attractive salary and social package, accommodation and support of movement. Our staff will be supported through our country office in Riyadh.
