Food for Education, a not-for-profit organization founded in 2012, works with vulnerable children in the public school system to improve their lives and school performance. We provide subsidized school meals every day to over 15,000 kids, with a goal of feeding 1,000,000 kids by 2025. We are currently seeking a Program Delivery Associate Trainee on a contract basis, requiring a BA/BSc/HND qualification. The role is based in the field of Graduate Jobs and Project and Program Management.
Role Overview: The Program Delivery Associate Trainee is an entry-level development role designed to prepare individuals for full operational responsibility in implementing Tap2Eat program delivery across a cluster of schools. During the six-month traineeship, the trainee will work closely with experienced Program Delivery Associates and Regional Program Delivery Officers to gain hands-on exposure to school operations, data management, customer engagement, and program monitoring. The program is designed to build the trainee's operational capability, professionalism, and leadership readiness, preparing them to transition into the Program Delivery Associate (PDA) role responsible for managing approximately 30 schools within a cluster.
Key Responsibilities:
School Operations Support: Assist with daily school operations including queue management, food receipt verification, tapping, and tag replacement. Accompany Program Delivery Associates during school visits to observe and learn operational workflows. Support monitoring of school-level hygiene practices, portion control, and service standards. Help ensure adherence to Tap2Eat Standard Operating Procedures during daily operations.
Program Utilization & Data Processes: Learn to track key operational metrics such as registrations, activations, utilization, and tapping performance. Assist in collecting, entering, and verifying school-level operational data. Support the identification and documentation of performance gaps in assigned schools.

Training Expectations – Learning While Executing: The traineeship is designed as a hands-on operational training program, where learning takes place through real program execution. During the training period, trainees may be assigned a small group of schools within a cluster to support and gradually manage under the guidance of the Regional Program Delivery Officer and experienced Program Delivery Associates. This approach ensures trainees gain practical experience while contributing to daily program delivery. Key expectations during the traineeship include: Supporting and eventually managing operations in a designated group of schools during training; Conducting regular school visits to observe and improve operational performance; Working directly with School Leads, Coordinators, and Tappers to ensure smooth daily operations; Monitoring tapping, utilization, registrations, and activation trends in assigned schools; Identifying operational gaps and proposing improvements with guidance from supervisors; Participating actively in coaching, feedback sessions, and operational reviews. The goal is for trainees to build operational confidence while delivering real program outcomes.
