A willingness to learn and develop is central to being an effective volunteer. The role requires real commitment to training and learning due to rapid technological changes and advancements. All volunteers are periodically assessed as to how they are performing via a set of competences specifically adapted for their role. This helps identify training and development needs. Things are always changing, and you will need to spend some time reading to keep yourself up to date. All training needs to develop skills and knowledge can be looked at with the Volunteer Coordinator.
