What is the Vtalent Programme?

City of Sunderland College aim to enlist 15 full-time volunteers – V15Team – to deliver a positive impact and make a positive contribution to the educational outcome for learners, primarily within the college.

The V15Team will be responsible for creating a range of projects and activities designed to complement and enhance students’ formal educational experience.

Volunteers in the V15team will aim to support students in realising their potential through the creation of relevant (extra-) curricular activities.

Volunteers will be able to get involved within the college in areas such as:

Bullet Point Image Learner Support  Bullet Point Image Prince's Trust  Bullet Point Image Duke of Edinburgh  Bullet Point Image Learning Disabilities  Bullet Point Image  Higher Education
