Amity university official trainer for CWG volunteers
June 30th, 2010 - 10:21 pm ICT by IANSNoida, June 30 (IANS) Amity University has been selected as the official trainer for 30,000 volunteers and 2,000 workforce for the Oct 3-14 Commonwealth Games.
More than 2,000 students from Amity have been selected as volunteers during the Games and over 310 students of Amity have already served as volunteers during the test events.
“The volunteers will be expected to work in any of the 22 Functional Areas. They will gain knowledge and experience which will add immensely to their skill set and competitiveness,” Ashok K Chauhan, president of Amity University told reporters here Wednesday.
There are four phases of volunteer training — general training, role specific training, venue specific training and leadership training.
After the general training, the role specific training (half a day) of over 22,000 volunteers, will start from July 1 and finish by August-end. Venue specific training (half a day) of all 30,000 volunteers will start from Aug 1 at various stadiums and will finish by September 15.
“The leaders chosen from among these volunteers will then undergo the leadership training at Amity,” he said.
The training modules have been very carefully designed to meet the requirement during the games, said Chauhan.
The general training is divided into eight sessions providing comprehensive details on the background of the CWG, heritage of Delhi, workforce operations, accreditation process for different groups, conflict resolution and the importance of communication.
