After strict and professional selection, the result of volunteer recruitment of the ISF Jinjiang 2020 Gymnasiade was released a few days ago. 71 excellent candidates were recruited and officially became the ISF Jinjiang 2020 Gymnasiade volunteers.

According to Wang Sisi, Director of the Publicity Department of CYL Jinjiang Municipal Committee, as recruiting student volunteers in 22 universities and schools, the Organizing Committee for the ISF Jinjiang 2020 Gymnasiade also announced social recruitment and targeted recruitment in all professionals within Jinjiang. More than 600 applicants were received, among which over 90 civilian and talented volunteers were shortlisted for the interview. The interview was to assess the candidates’ appearance and attire, personality, language skills, professional expertise, as well as capacity to cope with emergencies.

All the 71 recruits are natives of Quanzhou and Jinjiang. "All these volunteers can communicate in two or more languages. They will be mainly responsible for the work of reception and interpretation." Wang said that compared with student volunteers, social volunteers are older and with more working experience and might be better prepared to deal with emergencies. "Besides, they are more flexible in time. Some positions may require shift work, which may be a challenge for student volunteers who should probably commute to and from school every day, while social volunteers have no such concern."

In the next stage, CYL Jinjiang Municipal Committee will provide general training for those volunteers. Capital University of Physical Education and Sports has completed the recording of the online training course. The offline training will be carried out in different levels and categories by instructors, group leaders and experienced peers.
