Together, we can do anything

The person accepting this role should have some experience leading teams. They need to be able take the lead on a project and be confident enough to do so for a project that is entirely new to them. They have to be able to take charge. When they don't know, they need to ask. They need to identify the tasks required for delivery by asking pointed questions of the team. They must be able to assign responsibility determine and drive timelines, and keep the project rolling toward an established delivery date. They must be committed enough to be present and on-top of the project. This is a very important position. Those who can do this well are worth exceptional pay.

Every project is essential to the organization's vision of bringing the most challenged to gainful and rewarding employment. Many of our volunteers need experience to enhance learning or enhance resume, others are seasoned practitioners wanting to give back. Our volunteers show this experience as actual employment. We help volunteers to effective resume and, where appropriate, portfolio.

About KeelWorks Foundation

Location:

Mission Statement

To support a better world with better citizens by fostering learning competence, emotional intelligence, and networked intelligence. KeelWorks especially wishes to bring greater participation to the economically disadvantaged across the globe. We are building a system to support upward mobility.

Description

KeelWorks is a 501c3 foundation. Since 2008 hundreds of graduate students and unemployed workers, reached gainful employment while helping KeelWorks build structure for change. We want to end poverty across the world, changing one life at a time. The KeelWings program for recent students and the KeelMate program for transitioning workers apply their learning while gaining experience supporting the KeelMaster program development. This experience reflected in a competent resume - with our guidance - qualifies them as a credible job applicant. The KeelMaster program is designed to support employment for the more challenged unemployed. This program begins with barrier identification and mitigation, assigns participants facilitated teams where they learn core competencies, ending with goal determination. They access training, and while doing so, join paid internships. Mutual support, core competencies, application, and clear and objective progress metrics support measured results. This structure for change will be replicated over and over across the globe. While other programs give the needy fish, we teach teach them to fish.
