More than 72,000 people had applied to be volunteers at the World Expo site by April 6, and nearly 100,000 people had applied to work at the service stations. Successful applicants will be assigned to work at the World Expo site, which covers an area of 52,800 square meters and at more than 1,000 service stations in 18 districts and counties.

The 200,000 volunteer candidates for the World Expo site and for the service stations have been receiving standard training at 41 training bases since January 22. They will go through an examination and only those who pass can be accepted as registered volunteers.
There are 14 training courses and candidates must learn to understand the questions: Who am I? What do I want to do?” and How can I do a good job?
