We need a software engineer able to oversee a project, guide both design and development, willing to help inexperienced or less prepared designers and developers contribute. This person needs to assign tasks and monitor participation holding participants to timely reporting and clear communication. Since these are all volunteers here primarily to build experience and job applicant credibility, they are all likely to leave - sometimes without a word - when they get a job. This person needs to recognize when a person seemingly steps away and be ready to slip in another volunteer in their place. Some volunteers will be inexperienced or not fully ready for the job, but we want to give them the opportunity to build on existing skills, so this will require patience.
We encourage all to show their time at KeelWorks as an actual job and we help all volunteers have an effective resume and, where appropriate, portfolio.

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.
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.
This is a Virtual Opportunity with no fixed address.
