In December 2017, 15 recruiting centers were decided to implement the WorldSkills Kazan 2019 volunteer programme on the Federal level. Cooperation agreements that will be signed from February to April 2018 will regulate the process of participation of the centers in the recruiting of volunteers.
The Moscow center was among the first ones to open its doors. The city is represented by the Volunteer Centre at Moscow Polytechnic University. The agreement was signed by Acting Rector Vladimir Miklushevskii and Deputy Director General of the Directorate for Sports and Social Projects, Alexander Karpov. Present at the ceremony was as well WorldSkills Russia Deputy Director General Igor Superekin.
According to the terms of the agreement, the recruiting centers are responsible for appropriate conditions to participate in the WorldSkills Kazan 2019 volunteer programme, inclusiveness and accessibility of the programme, informational campaigns in the regions, selection and training of candidates, participation in the events held under auspices of the 45th WorldSkills Kazan 2019 Organising Committee and WorldSkills Russia.
