Welcome to the National Volunteer Management Training page. Your local Volunteer Centre staff have been trained - accredited through Open College Network Northern Ireland (OCNNI) - to deliver the VCI National Volunteer Management Training Programme. The programme consists of four half-day modules delivered in a hands-on, participative style and is designed to provide you with a Best Practice Volunteer Management Framework for involving volunteers in your organisation. 
 
Topics include:
• Module 1:  Planning for Volunteer Involvement and Developing Volunteer Role Descriptions
• Module 2:  Volunteer Recruitment, Selection and Induction
• Module 3:  Volunteer Support and Supervision
• Module 4:  Designing and Implementing a Volunteer Policy
 
The training is offered at a low cost to participants. It is expected that participants will attend all four modules as they are designed as part of a continuum. Please check the calendar below to find a training offered in your local area (training dates are listed alphabetically by the name of the volunteer centre). If you find a suitable date and location please contact the Volunteer Centre who is providing that particular training.
