1.1 Background of the Study
Volunteers play a crucial role in the successful execution of events, contributing their time, skills, and enthusiasm to ensure efficiency and effectiveness. In Gusau Local Government Area, Zamfara State, events such as cultural festivals, religious gatherings, and community initiatives heavily rely on volunteers due to limited financial resources and logistical constraints. Effective volunteer training is essential to equip these individuals with the necessary skills and knowledge to perform their roles effectively. According to Musa and Abubakar (2024), well-trained volunteers significantly enhance event operations, ensuring tasks are carried out smoothly and participants have a positive experience. Despite the critical role of volunteers, many events in Gusau suffer from inefficiencies due to inadequate training programs, poor coordination, and lack of recognition for volunteer efforts. This study explores how volunteer training impacts event efficiency, with a focus on identifying best practices and addressing existing challenges.
1.2 Statement of the Problem
Event organizers in Gusau LGA often face challenges related to volunteer management, including low performance, lack of commitment, and miscommunication. These issues are often linked to inadequate or non-existent training programs for volunteers. Without proper training, volunteers may lack the confidence and skills required to handle their responsibilities, leading to inefficiencies and participant dissatisfaction. While volunteerism is a cost-effective strategy for event management, its potential remains underutilized due to these challenges. This study seeks to address the problem by examining the role of volunteer training in enhancing event efficiency in Gusau LGA and providing actionable recommendations for improvement.
