External Collaborator for the Establishment and Operationalization of a National RPL (Recognition of Prior Learning) Unit within AQAC – RPL Phase III

Dear Bidder, The International Labour Office (ILO) is looking for an individual to undertake work as an External Collaborator. Below is a summary of the work to be performed: The ILO PROSPECTS Jordan project seeks a National External Collaborator to support AQAC in institutionalising and operationalising the national RPL system. The assignment will establish the RPL Unit’s structure, mandate, roles, governance, policies and procedures and integrate it within AQAC. It will operationalise RPL through SOPs, assessment and certification processes, end-to-end workflows and a standardised national model. The collaborator will support the transfer of the Self-Assessment Portal from MODEE to AQAC, ensure security and data protection, and support its upgrade into an integrated digital RPL system. The assignment will establish a national assessor registry, allocation system and code of conduct, while strengthening assessor and staff capacities through training, practical assessments, ToT, blended learning and continuous professional development. It will also establish quality assurance, verification and accreditation mechanisms for RPL assessment centres and conduct compliance checks. An M&E framework will track applicants, certification rates, geographic coverage and performance. Cross-cutting activities will ensure AQAC ownership, establish a national RPL working group, engage industry and stakeholders, and raise RPL awareness through TVET institutions, NGOs, social media, television and radio. If you are interested, please express interest and follow the instructions attached to consult the detailed terms of reference and other relevant information in the ILO e-sourcing platform. Please submit your proposal before the specified deadline. Thank you.
