Skill development for volunteering in rural communities
journal contribution
posted on 2023-05-17, 03:10 authored by Susan KilpatrickSusan Kilpatrick, Christine StirlingChristine Stirling, Orpin, PThis paper examines the skills required of volunteers in the voluntary sector organisations that operate in three rural Tasmanian communities. It reports how volunteers acquire those skills and reveals the challenges faced by voluntary sector organisations in rural communities whose industries and, following from this, community members have a low-qualification profile. Training for volunteers in these rural communities must take account of motivations for volunteering, rural context, preferred learning styles, education and training, and the volunteers' confidence as learners. © 2010 The Vocational Aspect of Education Ltd.
