As YOURS continues its search for the Coordinators of the Regions for the CORE group, we are all set to undertake interviews next week to grill our candidates for their chance to be a member of the CORE Group. We are interviewing candidates from around the world through an online interview format and candidates will logging in from Africa, Western Pacific, South East Asia and other continents streching accross many countries and nations.
The successful candidates will be published in due course and all successful candidates will be invited to a CORE Group meeting that will take place in Europe and supported by the World Health Organization. This will give successful candidates a chance to get a ‘feel’ for the work of YOURS and meet other CORE Group members to harmonize network expansion around the world.
Coordinator of the Global Youth Network for Road Safety, Manpreet Darroch said, ‘The process has been extremely competitve with candidates exhibiting a vast array of road safety experience. This has made the selection process very difficult and we have had to turn down applicants who are very experienced and highly committed. We can be assured, however, that the successful candidates will be very special’.
As we continue our selection process, YOURS is excited to speak to many candidates in person for the first time. Watch this space as new CORE Group members are chosen very soon!
