About the role

​

In line with Voices GY’s commitment to education (especially e-learning), vulnerable and marginalised communities and the environment, we are excited to embark on a short-term consultancy for Conservation International in order to support staff training within the ‘Our Future Forests - Amazonia Verde’ project. Two, 40-minute e-learning modules will be produced on SEAH (Sexual Exploitation, Abuse and Harassment) and Gender within the context of the project, in order to train and prepare CI staff and local and indigenous partners throughout the Amazon region.

The Graphic Designer will be responsible for converting course scripts and concepts into a professional standard, SCORM-compliant e-learning course through the use of authoring tools and design software including Articulate Storyline 360, Adobe After Effects and Adobe Illustrator.
