Role summary

Correlation One is seeking Teaching Assistants (TAs) for a virtual Data Analytics program in Somalia, aimed at preparing young people for remote work. TAs will provide close, personal support to a small group of learners, helping them understand and practice data analysis concepts, and build habits valued by remote employers. Responsibilities include answering questions on Pumble/Slack, facilitating sessions, grading assignments, providing feedback, and identifying learners who need extra support. The role requires professional proficiency in Somali and English, 3+ years of experience in data analytics, business intelligence, or a related field, and working knowledge of Excel, SQL, Python (pandas), and data visualization tools like Tableau or Power BI. Strong leadership, communication, and organizational skills are essential, as is empathy and patience for learners new to data analytics. Experience in a virtual environment is also required.

Correlation One is the largest provider of AI and data workforce development programs globally, having trained over 500,000 professionals across 11 countries. As the largest training provider for Amazon Career Choice, and a growing partner to governments and international development organizations, Correlation One sits at the intersection of employer talent needs and scalable workforce training.

We work with Fortune 500 enterprises, government agencies, and leading employers to close skills gaps in AI, data analytics, cybersecurity, and operations leadership. Our programs produce job-ready graduates who are prepared to contribute from day one.

About the program

We are proactively hiring Teaching Assistants (TAs) for the Data Analytics track of a new, fully virtual training-to-jobs program for young people in Somalia. The program prepares learners for remote and online work with employers worldwide, including entry-level data analyst, reporting analyst, and data operations roles.

Learners will build practical skills in cleaning, analyzing, and visualizing data to answer business questions, and will finish with portfolio projects they can show to employers.

Schedule and cohort size: We are finalizing the program dates, live session days and times, and cohort size, and will share them with shortlisted candidates before any commitment is made. Live sessions will be scheduled during East Africa Time (EAT) hours, so please tell us your general availability when you apply.

Your impact

TAs give learners close, personal support so no one falls behind. You will help a small group of learners understand the material, practice it, and build the habits remote employers look for, and you will step in early when a learner's attendance or progress starts to slip.

On days without live sessions

Review upcoming materials (labs, projects, extended cases) so you are ready to answer learner questions.

Hold individual office hours each week so learners can ask questions and get extra support.

Grade learner exercises and projects within seven days of submission, with clear, encouraging feedback.

Record short video walkthroughs for asynchronous assignments, such as extended cases and portfolio tasks.

Reach out to learners who miss sessions or fall behind, and flag concerns to the Correlation One team early.
