Aga Khan Academies
The position
The search for, assessment of and identification of high-potential, talented young people is essential to His Highness’s vision and the mission of the Academies.
To accomplish this, the International Talent Identification (ITID) Programme was established. Students, drawn from specific (and approved) locations where it is difficult or impossible for young people to access international quality schooling, are assessed on their ability to think, their leadership potential and their character, to see if they will benefit from an Academies’ education. Places are limited annually, and competition is fierce. Families are assessed on their ability to contribute to tuition fees and such assessment needs to be objective and fair. The Academies’ responsibility is to identify these talented young people and develop them into ethical leaders who have a commitment to contribute to the improvements in the quality of life of societies in their own country, their region and their communities.
The International Talent Identification Manager is responsible for strategising how to minimise these risks, maximise the opportunities for the students and support their integration in the Academy community, their chosen fields of study, internships, university destinations, scholarships and connectedness to their own region. S/he will be essential in ensuring that this key element of the Academies programme is developed and scaled to a high quality and a network-wide consistency. The programme is becoming increasingly complex because of the difficult geopolitical situation in the regions we serve. This necessitates an agile and flexible approach and an ability to manage a programme in a politically challenging and changeable environment.
