IVCO

Volunteering is a powerful learning experience, equipping people with valuable skills that enhance their personal and professional growth. Beyond technical expertise, volunteers develop soft skills such as resilience, flexibility, communication and problem-solving, all of which contribute to their long-term personal and career development. 

This session will explore strategies for Volunteer-Involving Organisations to be more intentional in supporting volunteer skill development. It will examine strategies to guide volunteers before, during, and after their placements, ensuring they maximise their learning and growth, and highlight ways to help volunteers articulate their acquired skills when moving into employment or further opportunities, empowering them to apply their skills and experiences in their professional lives. 

Different different modalities of breakout sessions have been designed to amplify diverse voices and promote opportunities for delegates to share their experiences in engaging ways during IVCO 2025.
