• Facilitate a two-hour presentation on decent work conditions (rights versus responsibilities of employers and employees, social security, vacation days and transport allowance, etc.) and the national labour laws (including modules relevant to foreign workers), followed by a one hour Q and A session.

• Develop a booklet (between 5-10 pages), in English, covering the main points of the two  above-mentioned presentations, which summarizes key information and  offers some practical tips on how to find employment opportunities in the above-mentioned sectors - where jobs are advertised, the most effective way of applying and also of approaching potential employers.  The booklet should be submitted to ACTED ten days following the signature of the contract in order to allow enough time for its review, translation to Arabic and printing. After the submission of the first draft, the consultant is expected to review the content, within five days, based on the comments and recommendations provided by ACTED.
• Facilitate between two to four small group discussions with job seekers participating in the ACTED project. There will be a maximum of five participants in each group. Each discussion will last up to forty-five minutes and will allow the job seekers to obtain direct counselling to improve their chances of finding employment (by sharing their past experiences, desired career paths and seeking advices on how to achieve their goals). These sessions will also take place in the social development centres.
