The Training section lists all required and optional training in order for a volunteer to be approved as qualified for the position description. The Knowledge Base includes any materials (websites, articles, books, files) that would aid a volunteer wanting to take a deep dive into information that would make them more adept at fulfilling the position responsibilities.


== Training Section ==
== Implementation Details ==
The completion of any training required in order to be deployable for this volunteer position.
In order to use the template, PBEM recommends the following steps:
 
# When a NETwiki editor wishes to create a volunteer position description, the first step is to create a page for it. The initial link for that page should ''always'' appear in the [[Volunteer Support Functions Directory|VSF Directory]], under the appropriate VSF.
# Once the page for the position description is created, open another browser window with the [[PBEM Volunteer Position Descriptions/Standard Position Description Template|template]] and click on the "edit source" tab along the source. Select all (CTRL+A) and copy (CTRL+C).
# Go into the page for the VSF and paste the source code (CTRL+V).
# Edit the text to shape the volunteer description and submit for review.
If an editor would like to deviate from the template significantly, PBEM suggests they ask PBEM staff by emailing [mailto:Net@portlandoregon.gov net@portlandoregon.gov].
 
If an editor would like to view a good example of a published volunteer position description, the BEECN volunteer descriptions aint slouchin':
 
[[VSF 14.01.01: BEECN Volunteer]]
 
[[VSF 14.01.02: BEECN Coordinator]]
 
[[VSF 14.01.04: Fire Station UHF Volunteer]]
 
== Compliance ==
As position descriptions are prospectively legal documents, '''PBEM staff must approve their publication.''' Position descriptions without PBEM approval are subject to immediate deletion, and the permissions of the editor may also be revoked.
