The Van2017 Volunteer program has started to recruit Team Leaders who will take charge of volunteers in an array of vital services during the Mini Games.
The process began last week with handpicked Central School teachers, among other selected institutions, NGOS and the general public.
Those selected will then be shortlisted and finally chosen to be placed in various functional areas to oversee the management of services to be provided during the Games.
Team Leaders will liaise with the Van2017 coordinating team in each sector to coordinate a group of volunteers in their respective service areas and fields of play.
Naylene Nicolosi , a Human Resource Consultant, is working closely with the Volunteer team in the selection process. They have a very tight schedule and need to choose the group of 50 Team Leaders by August 7, 2017.
Volunteer workforce supervisor, Henry Bill, says six different assessments were conducted starting from last week, and will be continuing this week, to identify potential Team Leaders.
He said the assessment comprises three hands-on activities, the first of which is to identify the participant’s communications skills. The second is to identify their problem-solving skills, and their last activity is to identify how a participant can make a constructive decision during game time.
He stressed that the role of a team leader is critical for the smooth functioning of services to be carried out.
As this role is an important component of the Games, the Volunteer department is looking for people with exceptional qualities and skills to take up these challenging roles to help stage a successful Mini Games from December 4-15, 2017.
