Changing the world using technology?

If you feel passionately about the need for positive change in the development space in India and are excited about the potential for technology as an enabler for bringing about some of these changes, then we might have an interesting opportunity for you.

The QUEST alliance is a network of partners working to better the state of education and find models for rural employability by using technology as an integral part of these solutions. We seek to bring possibility and hope into our schools and into the lives of the millions of unemployed but talented youth in this country today. The basis on which Quest is formed and seeks to keep itself alive is the strength of partnerships and the notion that we can bring about systemic change only through harnessing separate efforts and find common interests and grounds for different partners to work together. We currently work with 10 partners and are actively looking to engage with more organizations working in these areas of development.

We are looking for a young and energetic person to work at our India office on a one-year assignment. The role would involve understanding projects and experiments deeply, documenting best practices and success stories from across projects and researching interesting experiments using technology in India and across the world. If you are around , have some experience in project management and are willing to learn new skills, and most importantly, feel passionately about the need to bring about a difference and are curious about the possibility of change using technology and partnerships, we would like to talk to you. The position will be based out of Bangalore and might require you to travel to program locations.

You might come from any background, but we definitely would prefer someone with good writing skills and a passion for technology in education and development. To know more about our work visit http://quest.eeaonline.org . Please write to a.sethi(@)iyfnet.org if you are interested.
