Volunteer Retention and Recruitment: Problem and Solutions - Nov. 10
This course’s targeted audience is administrative and line officers of volunteer fire departments, persons serving as recruitment officers or on recruitment/retention committees. Persons serving in similar capacities in other volunteer emergency service organizations may benefit from attending. The course examines the results of a March 1993 conference at the National Fire Academy between 16 volunteer fire service representatives from around the country concerning retention and recruitment issues. Students will have the opportunity to examine these results and their implications, to share experiences, and to begin the process of applying the course content to conditions in their own departments.
