Nordics/Baltics Course Coordinator - Arlington, United States - McColm and Company
Description
Job Description
Job DescriptionLEVEL: Senior - Subject Matter Expert
LOCATION: Arlington, VA
TYPE: Consultant/Contract
McColm & Company (McCO) is a mission-driven and customer-focused consulting firm that equips change makers with the knowledge, skills, and insights they need to succeed in an increasingly complex world. McCO specializes in supporting U.S. federal customers with internationally and thematically focused portfolios by managing bespoke professional training programs, delivering effective capacity building solutions, and providing highly specialized technical advisory and analysis expertise to decision makers.
McCO supports the Area Studies Division at the Foreign Service Institute of the U.S. Department of State by providing essential Area Studies training to State Department and USG personnel and contractors. McCO seeks a subject matter expert instructor to serve as the Nordics/Baltics Sub-Regional Overview Course Coordinator.
Overview
The objective of the course is to provide area knowledge to prepare foreign affairs professionals to carry out their responsibilities working in or on Denmark, Estonia, Finland, Iceland, Latvia, Lithuania, Norway, Sweden, and United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland.
The purpose of the course is to provide participants with an understanding of the forces that have shaped modern Denmark, Estonia, Finland, Iceland, Latvia, Lithuania, Norway, Sweden, and United Kingdom and continue to influence the course of each country's development domestically and internationally, especially those issues that most affect relations with the United States. It reviews historical and cultural factors that have given rise to each country's recent political and economic structure and explores the major social, economic, and political issues facing the nations today. It also provides an overview of each country's government and economy as well as the present policies of the United States on the key issues in U.S.-bilateral relations. The seminar combines short lectures, class discussions, field trips, documentaries, and participatory activities, and is supported by readings.
Duties
The course runs as a 5-day consecutive in-person class. McCO has an immediate need for an instructor to conduct the in-person June 10—June 14, 2024 and August 26—August 30, 2024 iterations of the course in Arlington, Virginia, although we are also accepting applications for subsequent deliveries. Please note your availability in your application form.
The successful candidate must be available to manage the course for the duration of the scheduled class time, however it is not necessary for the instructor to commit to every course delivery. Candidates will be considered who have availability intermittently through the year. The selected instructor may be called upon to deliver courses remotely or in person at FSI.
The responsibilities of the Course Coordinator include, but are not necessarily limited to, the following duties:
