The Volunteer Development Programme is an interactive online programme packed with informative training, but also some great fun activities and ways to build friendships with people you might never have met before. Attending the sessions will be a fantastic opportunity to reflect on your experiences as volunteers, meet new people and develop your skills. This will set you apart in the graduate job market, is a brilliant thing to add to your CV, and can help you define your career goals going forward through the range of workshops.
Since lockdown there have been some changes made to the way the Programme will run this year. Everything will be online, and you don’t need to apply or be interviewed to get a place. All we need you to do is to check out our dedicated site here https://uclanempower.native.fm/ and get a free ticket for any sessions you’re interested in attending. You can come to them all, or pick ‘n’ mix the ones you think are most relevant to you.
The schedule:
Week 1 (w/c 8th Feb) contains all the different sessions, labelled "Session A"
Week 2 (w/c 15th Feb) contains the same sessions repeated, labelled "Session B"

If you attend all the different sessions in the Programme you will be offered one of our friendly Students’ Union staff members to mentor you throughout the year afterwards and ensure you get the most out of your experience. In addition, you will also receive a certificate of participation that you can use as evidence of your skills development in interviews and on your CV.You only need to attend 1 of each session - they are repeated in order to allow as many students as possible to attend even if you have conflicting lectures.
