Strategic writing course instructor

For additional questions, please contact the ACT Contracting Officer: michael.diprospero@act.nato.int
Please read the NOI attachment for further description of requirement.
A. In order to promulgate and promote SACT's Intent and Vision, documents produced as output by the headquarters staff must be of the highest quality. HQ SACT creates many documents which are targeted at NATO HQ, SHAPE and National Authorities. These documents are used to influence decisions, create policy throughout NATO and justify the HQ Program of work. These documents must be extremely clear, concise and using proper grammar and formatting. The majority of Job Descriptions for this HQ require Standard Language Proficiency of 3 in English for writing and speaking. For the documents produced as output from this HQ the standard needs to be higher in order for them to provide the necessary desired impact on the receiving audience.

B. Conduct on-site training courses for HQ personnel: Each course

will provide a minimum of 16.5 hours of instruction per student for

10 participants. This will include 15 hours of group classroom

instruction, 0.5 hours of individual student needs assessment at

the beginning of the course and 1 hour personal coaching for each

student at the end of the course to help the student apply the

lessons to their current projects. The course should be conducted

as a writing workshop and NATO documents and participants'

writing are used as sample documents throughout the course.

C. Writing, Communication and Editing Support: Individual writing

coaching and editing support will be provided on-site to graduates

of the writing course at HQ by the same Instructor that delivered

the group instruction to continue the writing development of the

participants and to contribute substantively to the high quality of

documents at ACT. This support will be available to the Staff

Element Europe (SEE) graduates via electronic means.

Communication coaching and support will be provided on an as

needed basis and billed hourly.
