Are you supporting your volunteers skill development? Do you provide them with opportunities to support them on their employability journey?
As part of Renfrewshire Employability Month, this edition of the Volunteer Managers Forum will focus on the theme ‘Volunteering as a Pathway to Employment’. Volunteering plays a crucial role in helping individuals develop the confidence, skills and experience needed to take the next step in their journey towards employment. This session will explore how you, as a volunteer-involving organisation, can strengthen that pathway and better support volunteers with employability ambitions.
We’re delighted to be hosting this forum in a new venue – the Russell Institute in Paisley – home to Invest in Renfrewshire, our local employability service. We’ll be joined by Margo from the Invest team, who will share an overview of the support they can offer to volunteers who are ready to explore job or training opportunities. Margo will also discuss how organisations can strengthen their employability focus by offering formal recognition of volunteers’ contributions and achievements. https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100069192319885
There will also be time for networking, peer learning and open discussion around the challenges and opportunities of supporting volunteers on their employability journey as well as discussion around what kind of support do you think your volunteers need.
Tea, coffee and breakfast rolls will be available– we look forward to welcoming you for an engaging and informative morning.
