Training
The volunteer program is one of the many unique traits that set CLT apart from other airports. Before receiving a yellow shirt and name tag, all volunteers must successfully complete a training program to ensure they are equipped to be in the Airport and answering travelers’ questions.
Volunteers are required to participate in a one-day training session that provides an overview of the Airport, its facilities and services. Security information and customer service training is provided at that time as well. Additional on-the-job training is conducted as well. Each candidate is subject to security screening and background checks while serving in the Volunteer Program.
