M/F IECD Country Representative for Myanmar & Thailand Project Manager – Support to Hospitality Schools in Myanmar

Context

IECD is a non for profit organization established in 1988 and that is mainly acting in the field of international solidarity. The organization is focusing on socioeconomic development programs in partnership with local institutions around the world. IECD is active in the fields of vocational training and social integration, support to micro and small entrepreneurs and promotion of education and health for vulnerable people.

Since 1992, IECD created and technically-assisted 21 hospitality and catering vocational training centers across 13 countries – including the Hospitality and Catering Training Center (HCTC) launched in Mae Sot, Thailand, in 2010.

In 2015, IECD decided to broaden the scope of its activities in Southeast Asia and has initiated several field missions and visits to Nay Pyi Daw, Yangon and Inle to identify potential local partner organizations in the field of hospitality and tourism. Since July 2015, with the financial support of the French Development Agency (AFD), IECD is conducting the following activities in Myanmar:

  • Support to 2 existing hospitality schools:
  • The Inle Heritage Hospitality Vocational Training Center (IHHVTC), which offers a hospitality training to 40 vulnerable youth from the Shan State every year (http://inleheritage.org/en/ihhvtc/)
  • The Yangon Bake House, which provides pastry and cooking skills training to vulnerable women (http://www.yangonbakehouse.com/)

IECD’s support is decided with each school at the beginning of the year; it includes some training of trainers, technical assistance in curricula development (hospitality and tourism subjects, life skills…), support in planning activities and refining strategy, support to set-up and run tools for the students’ follow-up during and after training, consulting to increase the income-generating activities in order to maintain sustainable hospitality and catering vocational training programs…

  • Launch of a social business: in Yangon and in partnership with LuxDev (Luxembourg development agency) and the MOHT (Ministry Of Hotels and Tourism), IECD is preparing for the launch of a social business, which will offer a bakery and pastry training program to 15 disadvantaged youth every year; the school launch is planned in June 2018. The 20-months training program is based on the ASEAN skills standards and will provide competencies close to the French CAP; it will also include English and life skills classes. The Yangon bakery & pastry school will benefit from the experience of IECD in Vietnam where 2 similar social businesses are already supported (in Hue since 2015 – link to some videos: https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=IECD+Vietnam – and in HCMC since 2017). One of the objectives of the 3 schools is to cover their operational costs with the sale of the products manufactured by the students during their practical training; it is almost the case in Hue (self-funding rate of 95%).
