Let's GoTeach/Role of Management

7.3.1 The Role of Management

7.3.1.1 It is important to identify the involvement of (Country) Managers at different moments of the program and how their role and participation are defined.

GoTeach Moment / Space / Role	Description of Country Managers participation / involvement
Kick-off events & Relaunch events	Country Managers are main participants in this type of events, since they are responsible for presenting the company to new partners, in addition to signing the local Agreement that defines the GoTeach partnership. Their inputs during workshops with young people are also very helpful. It is important to start their involvement and achieve their long-term commitment to the program.
Active participation as a volunteer	Country Managers also participate as volunteers in the various GoTeach activities, either as workshop facilitators, mentors, talking about their professional experience on a panel or welcoming new interns on their first day in the office. It is important to recognize their participation as a GoTeach Volunteer or GoTeach Champions, depending on the level of participation, as well as documenting their experience so they can inspire other members of their local SMT or other CMs at regional/global level.
GoTeach Supporter	Country Managers support the execution of GoTeach initiatives at the local level, providing the main resources to do so (staff, materials, spaces, budget, etc.), in addition to speeding up and facilitating the processes necessary for the program such as approvals, permits, reports, presentations, among many others.
GoTeach Promoter	It is important to have committed Country Managers who also promote the program locally, establishing it as a priority for compliance with the company's Sustainability strategy, facilitating the participation of volunteers, approving positions that can be filled by young people as interns, but on all taking advantage of every opportunity with other leaders to encourage them to be actively involved and lead by example.
Sharing GoTeach	Both internally and externally, it is important that the Country Managers, as the main leaders of each BU in the country, represent GoTeach in different spaces, whether with other local, regional and global leaders, with other companies and organizations, with representatives of the public sector, customers, suppliers, etc. We can also take advantage of inviting them to networking events so that they can talk about the program from their experience and continue to position it as a way of positively impacting young people, facing youth unemployment and promoting support for our main GoTeach partners.
