SCI Placement Officer Training (POT)
13th Februar 2025 @ 08:00 - 19th Februar 2025 @ 17:00
This year’s «SCI Placement Officer Training (POT) 2025: Making Volunteering User-Friendly” will take place from 13-19 February in Bern, Switzerland.
BACKGROUND OF THE TRAINING
Placement officers of the world, unite! In this annual training – Placement Officer Training (POT) -, volunteers or staff in SCI who place (other) volunteers in volunteering camps have the opportunity to get to know all the practical procedures, the OPS online database, tips, tricks, possible challenges and good practices around that – as well as to get a better understanding of SCI as a movement and the possibilities of getting active in it and making it more inclusive.
SCI is about connections. With this training, we want to make sure that the placement of volunteers goes smoothly in 2025 and that all placement officers feel well prepared for the many situations coming ahead. At the same time, the training is a way to get to know each other better – the people
participating here will be people you will stay in contact with via e-mail all year and it is a great opportunity to get to know the faces and the personalities behind the names.
Online course to prepare you in advance. As part of this training, we are expecting you to go through the online course for placement officers on the SCI learning platform before. It will revolve around placement rules and the Online Placement System of SCI. You can do this course at your own pace before February 2025. In November and December 2024, we will still work on updating the online course. If it is not possible for you to participate in this training on site in Switzerland, you could still do the online course.
This year, the Placement Officer Training (POT) will take place from 13th to 19th February 2025 in Bern (Switzerland). We will have a special focus on whatever is already known about the new placement system by this point. For this reason, also POs with experience are invited to join, if they are interested in deepening their understanding of the new system.
