Volunteer job positions

I done a training course in 2007 for olympics 2012. I passed and have a certificate and training now. I moved from Bethnal Green to Romford, Essex in 2008. Why have I still not heard about helping in the games.

Hi Addie and welcome to our UNOFFICIAL London 2012 Forum, I would suggest you contact the official London 2012 site to discuss what role you could play.

Take a look at http://www.london2012.com/get-involved/ for further information.

Divingbrit, do you have any suggestions?

Well, did you apply?

240,000 did, we all filled in a comprehensive application form on line, from that 100,000 have been (or will soon be) interviewed. And 70,000 will be offered places, next weekend we begin the first training day, in London, meeting other volunteers for the first time, and then in the months that follow I have another training session, at the Olympic Park and then at the 02 Arena.

The experience that the volunteers bring to the games, properly decided what roles they would play at the games, I bought many years in management and problem solving, and so was offered a post, others came with sport specific expertise, so they were found jobs within their relevant sport, Then others came with years of volunteering experience.

None of us have an Olympic training skill, we have the skills learned at the University of Life!
