This series aims to equip volunteer members of the university with the necessary skills to excel in various roles within project organizing committees. The series is structured into four sessions, each focusing on different teams within a project: Program Team, Secretary Team, Finance Team, Logistics Team, and Public Visibility Team . The primary objective is to encourage students to engage in volunteering activities with a clear understanding of their roles and to help them perform their responsibilities to the best of their abilities. The inaugural session of this series was successfully conducted on Monday, 15th July 2024, from 8:00 p.m. to 9:30 p.m. via the Zoom platform . The session featured Ms. Chethana Wickrama Arachchi , a software engineer at CodeGen International PVT LTD and the Program Lead of the IEEE Sri Lanka Section Students | Young Professionals | Women in Engineering (SL SYW) Congress 2023. The event saw an impressive turnout, with over 200 participants from the university as well as from the IEEE Sri Lanka section, marking the highest attendance for an online session hosted by the Student Branch. The session was highly interactive and concluded with a quiz designed to assess participants' comprehension of the material presented. This not only reinforced the session's content but also ensured active engagement from the attendees. The positive feedback received from participants and past executive committee members highlighted the session's effectiveness and relevance. Notably, a significant number of first-year students expressed keen interest in participating in future IEEE projects, indicating the success of the session in fostering a spirit of volunteerism among the student body. In conclusion, the inaugural session of the Volunteer Training Series has set a strong foundation for future sessions. The overwhelming participation and positive reception underscore the importance of such initiatives in building a knowledgeable and motivated volunteer base.
