The recruitment will focus on eight service
areas including VIP escort and translation, vehicle driving, media operation,
sport organization, medical service, awarding ceremony, reception and
accommodation as well as security, said an official with the Volunteers'
Department of the Beijing Organizing Committee for the Games of the XXIX
Olympiad (BOCOG).
He said those people who meet the requirements for the specialized volunteers
and have already applied on line or registered in Beijing's districts or
counties, or higher education institutions, will also be included in the ranks
for selection. He did not give a launch time but indicated that the first batch
of specialized volunteers is expected to be decided in August 2007.
The official made the remarks in conjunction with a BOCOG meeting on Thursday
to deal with the volunteer work for the Beijing Olympic and Paralympic Games,
which was chaired by Qing Wei, chief of the Coordination Group of the Volunteer
Work for Beijing Olympic Games and deputy secretary of Beijing Municipal
Committee of the Communist Party of China (CPC).
Liu Jian, head of the office for the coordination group and secretary of the
Beijing Youth League Committee summed up the work done so far and informed of
the task for the next stage. Liu said coordination groups will also be set up at
the district and county level.
Since it was kicked off on August 28, the Beijing Olympic volunteer program
has been warmly received, with more than 220,000 applicants and 600,000
information seekers.
