Resumo |
This paper examines the skills required of volunteers in the voluntary sector organisations that operate in three rural Tasmanian communities. It reports how volunteers acquire those skills and reveals the challenges faced by voluntary sector organisations in rural communities whose industries and, following from this, community members have a low-qualification profile. Training for volunteers in these rural communities must take account of motivations for volunteering, rural context, preferred learning styles, education and training, and the volunteers' confidence as learners. <br /> |
