Between now and 7 August 2011, the University of Warwick's Sports Centre in Coventry will welcome an estimated 7,000 applicants, all looking to secure one of the 70,000 Games-time roles.
A number of these roles will be based at the City of Coventry Stadium, which will be hosting the Olympic Football tournament.
Budding volunteers will be able to explore an exhibition about the Games and meet London 2012 Organising Committee (LOCOG) staff before their 30-minute interview.
The interviews are the second stage in the process to be a London 2012 volunteer. In September 2010, the public were invited to apply to become part of the London 2012 Games Maker programme, with over 250,000 people signing up.
Jean Tomlin, LOCOG's HR Director, said: ‘London 2012 volunteers will be the face of the Games – every role counts, from collecting tickets to welcoming athletes at the airport. It’s vital we find the right people for these roles, and we are delighted to bring the search to Coventry today.
'The Games are for the whole of the UK and it’s great that people across the nation have volunteered their time so willingly.’
A final selection event will take place in Plymouth from 11–17 August 2011. The flagship interview centre at London’s ExCeL Centre, which opened on 1 February this year, will remain active until March 2012.
