Organization Background

The Wildlife Conservation Society (WCS) is a US non-profit, tax-exempt, private organization established in 1895 that saves wildlife and wild places by understanding critical issues, crafting science-based solutions, and taking conservation actions that benefit nature and humanity. With a presence in more than 60 nations, WCS has amassed the biological knowledge, cultural understanding and partnerships to ensure that vibrant, wild places and wildlife thrive alongside local communities.

Scope of Work

WCS provides training to government partners on the threats to wildlife and ways to counter those threats. WCS are seeking a contractor to work with our instructional designers and subject matter experts to make our training content more engaging by developing supporting multimedia materials (e.g. videos and graphic representations).

Assignment Description

The contractor will develop multimedia training materials for up to 300 one-hour training sessions to support WCS projects in Indonesia, Viet Nam and Mozambique, specifically:

• Multimedia production: Convert materials produced by the course design teams into visually engaging media, including short videos, graphical representations, slides, etc., including managing subtitle tracks.
• Creation of templates to streamline workflows: Create media templates for course development teams.
• Compiling online courses: Populating a learning management system with training course materials.
• Course enrichment: Conducting online research to identify additional related materials (such as videos and articles) to enrich the training materials.

• Video editing and graphic design skills (all platforms accepted although the applicant must have their own software)
