The MGA Volunteer Leadership Training Program (VoLT) was designed to: a) accelerate volunteers’ knowledge of the IEEE organization, products & services, and resources available to them; b) help volunteers understand their role within their local units and within the larger IEEE and c) create a succession tool that develops and prepares future IEEE volunteer leaders.

The program consists of two tracks: Track 1 includes the 8 sessions below. They cover an introduction to each organizational unit of the IEEE and is available to all IEEE volunteers. Track 1 runs each year around April through June. Volunteers who complete Track 1 within this period and by the deadline provided each year may apply for consideration for the program's Track 2.  Track 2 starts around September each year and lasts three months. It consists of live weekly webinars on leadership related topics. During Track 2 participants work on a project assignment.

Track 2 is targeted to volunteers who have not been a Section Chair and have at least 2 years of volunteer experience within their local units.
