Training

Learning is central to the VSO volunteer experience. Upon joining VSO, the volunteers are inducted into a learning journey that optimises their potential to meet identified development goals as well as maximise organisational learning within VSO.

Learning opportunities are integrated at every stage of the volunteer journey. There is consistency in how the volunteers are supported in this journey internationally.

VSO provides training and learning support to volunteers in addressing the following inter-linked learning needs:

  • personal learning needs (eg adapting to living and working in a new culture, attitudes, ethics, language)

  • development learning needs (eg HIV and AIDS as a development issue, gender, Millennium Development Goals, globalisation)

  • professional learning needs (eg training skills, programme development, motorcycle driving).
