VSkills volunteering-based learning 25 October 2015

what is VSkills about? Volunteering affords many opportunities to acquire new skills; VSkills identifies and captures evidence of learning and skills acquisition through volunteering. Just as work-based learning offers employees the opportunity to learn on the job, so VSkills offers volunteers the opportunity to learn from their volunteering. 25 October 2015

how does VSkills work? 25 October 2015

a volunteer’s journey 25 October 2015 support from volunteer manager support from peers (other volunteers) use of online learning resource assessment by SQA approved centre achievement of the award Volunteer begins volunteering

VSkills for Employability Prototype: VSkills for Employability, funded by the Scottish Government, Lifelong Learning (2009 to 2010). Any volunteering experience offers scope for the volunteer to practise and demonstrate generic employability skills (self management, team working, problem-solving, communication etc). Employability = a good showcase of VSkills potential. 25 October 2015
