Volunteering
Why should you work for nothing? Well apart from the reward of the fantastic feeling you get from making a real contribution to the community, volunteering is an ideal way of developing experience in an area related to your career aims. The Careers and Employment Centre can help you identify the types of experience that may be useful to you dependent upon your individual career aims or general interests.
