The American Council on Education office of Higher Education for Development (ACE/HED) is seeking two qualified candidates to conduct a summative implementation and outcome evaluation of a higher education development project in Barbados.

HED receives funding from USAID’s Bureau for Economic Growth, Education and Environment, Office of Education (E3/ED), USAID’s functional and Regional Bureaus and worldwide Missions, and the U.S. Department of State to support higher education partnerships to advance global development, economic growth, good governance, and healthy societies. 

USAID’s Job Opportunity for Business Start Up (JOBS) is an initiative to promote post-secondary skills training in entrepreneurship through partnerships among U.S. and developing country institutions of higher education. The Barbados JOBS partnership between the Kelley School of Business at Indiana University and the Cave Hill School of Business at the University of the West Indies focuses on the growth of an entrepreneurial culture and diversifying the service oriented economies in Barbados and neighboring countries. The partnership works to establish the Cave Hill School of Business Centre for Enterprise and Entrepreneurship at the University of the West Indies as the hub for innovative business training and growth in the Eastern Caribbean by concentrating on two objectives:

• To enhance CHSB's institutional capacity to serve as an entrepreneurship center for excellence in Barbados and the Organization of Eastern Caribbean States (OECS)
• To strengthen entrepreneurship knowledge and skills among diverse stakeholder groups in Barbados and the OECS through outreach and engagement
