QA turn volunteers into ambassadors of their programme

QA provides training and learning experiences including apprenticeships to thousands of people.

They believe the future belongs to organisations and people who wish to learn, master and apply new skills. Their mission is to provide an engaging learning experience to up-skill the UK in digital and technology courses.

Over 100 volunteers help them promote their apprenticeships and learning programmes. 

These volunteers become Ambassadors of their programme, joining them at career fares and events to raise awareness and increase programme adoption.

Why QA picked Rosterfy as their volunteer management platform

Candidate Onboarding

QA's Ambassador Programme creates a lot of admin. Personal Details, Background Checks and more have to be collected and stored. 

Rosterfy's onboarding features empower them to tailor the experience specifically to their unique needs.

Reward & Recognition (5)

Reward and Recognition

QA needed a system that could provide them with the platform to reward and recognise the efforts of their volunteers.

Often Ambassadors take annual leave to attend an event. They take time away from work or studying so it's important QA have a system where they can show their appreciation by sending gifts and acknowledging their efforts.

Candidate attraction powered by Rosterfy

To drive awareness and adoption of their training and apprenticeships the QA team visit organisations, careers fairs, workshops. They discovered the best way they are able to reach an audience of people who would benefit from apprenticeships and their training programmes are the people who have already completed the courses.

These individuals are volunteers and QA use Rosterfy to provide them with what they call ‘The Ambassador Hub’ - a single, centralised location where volunteers can access their profile, view new events and activities, receive communications from the QA team, news, updates and even access their rewards for their efforts.

A modern, engaging solution for volunteer management.

Using Rosterfy to scale their programme

The Ambassador programme started in Scotland and quickly became a success and generated a lot of interest across the UK.

While they rarely had over 100 volunteers, the administration of the programme generated a great deal of pressure on the team so they needed a solution to reduce the time spent on duties that won’t grow the programme.

They tried to find a solution specific to education or apprenticeship programmes but they couldn’t find anything that suited them so they pivoted to volunteer systems.

“When we first starting looking for software we couldn't find anything that suited are needs. I saw Rosterfy's Volunteer Management Software and initially I wasn’t sure if they could help us, but they have been great and totally embraced our mission while coming up with solutions” - David Cunningham, Early Careers Events & Ambassador Marketing Manager

"I’ve definitely found the Ambassador Hub (Rosterfy) makes my life significantly easier from the process before, with the hub it’s a whole lot more automated to book and attend events"


Fiona Macdonald, Junior IT Helpdesk Engineer, Ambassador for QA

Rosterfy empowers QA to focus on the mission and improve lives

Rosterfy plays a pivotal role in their mission to address the digital skills gap in the UK by showcasing available opportunities to individuals. In the past year, through the efforts of the Ambassadors, they've seen over 4,700 applications throughout the UK, successfully ushering 72 individuals into full-time employment.

Rosterfy provides QA with the essential tools to seamlessly onboard their volunteers and maintain engagement from the initial welcome in the Ambassador programme to their active participation in events.

Before integrating Rosterfy, approximately 80% of their efforts were consumed by administrative tasks, which made it difficult to prioritise their fundamental goal of making a positive impact on individuals' lives. With Rosterfy, they can now dedicate their energy to empowering individuals through learning and transformative life opportunities.

"Had we not had The Ambassador Hub and Rosterfy would we be able to achieve our mission? Probably not because we would have been spent most of our time working on admin"
