Volunteer Training and Development

Home  >  Life at AUS  >  Student Life  >  Community Involvement  >  Volunteer Training and Development

CSO offers training and workshops to its volunteers that equip them with the knowledge and requisite skills not only in the performance of their tasks but also for their own personal development. CSO offers the following training and workshops and they are subject to change from time to time depending on the training needs of volunteers:

Takatof Volunteering Essentials Training

Takatof offers youths with meaningful opportunities to volunteer for important social causes. Volunteers learn about the development of volunteer plans, managing communication between volunteers, fundamentals of human resources for volunteers, assessment and  distribution of volunteers and the development of volunteering projects.

First Aid Training

In collaboration with Emirates Red Crescent, first aid training is offered to volunteers every semester. The training is delivered by professionals from Emirates Red Crescent over a two-day period. Volunteers learn the basics of first aid and how to react on emergency situations. Basic first aid is one of many essential skills that a volunteer must learn.

Training on Well-Being

Volunteers get an in-depth knowledge about well-being and its many benefits. Volunteers also learn skills on how to live a healthy life and promote well-being.  

Training on Protocol and Etiquette

Volunteers learn about the protocol and etiquette of social behavior in the UAE and in different cultures. 

Training on the Impact of Smartphones on Relationships

Volunteers learn how to be smarter than their smartphone and understand why heavy use of electronic gadgets is wrong. They will also discover the disturbing effects of electronic gadgets in people’s lives and how to prevent a smartphone from damaging social relationships.  

Training on Positive Psychology

Volunteers learn what positive psychology is, learn the basics, its implementation and how it complements the elements of a healthy life. 

Training on Infection Control

Volunteers learn how to protect themselves and others and how to help break the chain of infection.  

Heart Experts

In collaboration with the Ministry of Health’s team of heart experts, the training program aims to raise awareness amongst volunteers about healthy lifestyles that promote cardiovascular health. Volunteers will become advocates in their community in raising awareness about cardiovascular health.
