Kiron is delivering Skill IT Up, a free six-month blended online upskilling program targeting the role of IT Operations & AI
Support Specialist. The program is part of the federal IQ - Integration durch Qualifizierung initiative, funded by ESF+ and BMAS,
and is designed for people with a migration or refugee background seeking to build sustainable careers in Germany's IT sector.
The program combines technical IT training, AI literacy, German workplace language development, and career coaching. Learners work
primarily through self-paced content on platforms including DataCamp and Coursera for Impact, with live tutoring sessions
providing structured academic support and applied guidance. The first cohort launches in mid-July 2026, with subsequent cohorts
running through December 2028.
We are seeking two experienced freelancers to support us as IT Operations & AI Support Tutors.
You will facilitate weekly live group tutoring sessions for Skill IT Up learners, primarily from August 2026 onwards. Two tutors
will work in parallel, each supporting one of two learner groups drawn from the same cohort (approximately 20-25 learners per
group). This parallel structure ensures manageable group sizes and continuity of support.
Sessions follow an open-ended drop-in Q&A format, responding to learners' questions and challenges as they arise from the
curriculum. Tutors will also occasionally design short micro-project assignments to deepen applied learning, discussed
collectively in the following session. Most assignment design work is expected to take place in the first months of the contract,
so that a shared roadmap is in place from the outset.
