Skill Transferal Benefits from Volunteer Experiences
Abstract
With increasing frequency, professional and popular publications contain references to or case studies about women who have made a successful transition from volunteer to paid employment through the use of skills learned through their volunteer work. This article describes how a selected sample of individuals in Virginia was able to transfer volunteer-developed skills to paid employment. It also provides information about the extent to which subjects were able to get college credit based on volunteer-developed knowledge and skills and introduces the concept that such skills may also be useful in initiating self-employment or obtaining supplemental income.
