81 Volunteer Team Leaders were provided detailed information on Functional Area Operations, particularly on Venues Processes & Spaces.

All Team Leaders (TLs) assigned to the various Games (Functional Areas) FAs - Venues, Villages, Transport, Technology, Medics, Sport, Accreditation, Pacific Games Association, Security, Games Venues and Services, Marketing which covers VIP/Protocol, Ticketing and Sponsor Activation, and Media – were presented an overview on how their respective FAs interface with each other, with regards spaces to be occupied and especially the main services to be provided which are Volunteers, Catering, Technology and Transport.

Team Leaders were given an opportunity to ask questions of presenters of each main service to be provided, in order to get a clear understanding on processes, transportation system, scheduling, requirements on uniforms and accreditation, and their entitlements.

During in-depth discussions with their respective managers on Wednesday, TLs were briefed on their job descriptions, introduced to those with whom they will be working and were made to understand how they will be interacting with other operational areas, in addition to being introduced to possible incident scenarios for which they must be prepared.

A brief session was held, also, during which the important Test Event that will be held on November 25th was made known to them. This will be a day of testing where all functional areas and Games services will be fully operational, including the workforce to ensure all operational teams know their processes and procedures, and trial test scenarios prior to the Games.

According to Workforce Supervisor Henry Bill, Team Leaders were picked from various professional backgrounds such as Teachers, Civil servants, Sports National Federations, church leaders, community leaders, youth leaders and the general public.

Another training session is scheduled on October 7, 2017 for Team leaders.
