Change Management Specialist

Experienced organizational development specialists and program managers are invited to share their expertise with a youth-focused organization in Moldova.

“MilleniumM” Training and Development Institute supports the local youth to develop leadership skills.

These skills will allow the team to effectively navigate common challenges facing non-governmental organizations in Moldova, including limited institutional capacity, high staff turnover, and professional development plan for each staff member.
