Want to get more out of your experience here at uni…fancy doing something different? Why not try volunteering. You may discover hidden talents or further develop the skills you already have whilst helping local organisations, charities and community groups at the same time.
Volunteering is great for your community but are you aware how great it could be for your career?
Volunteering...
- Unveils an exciting network of people and experiences
- Enhances your employability
- Fosters a can-do attitude
- Promotes entrepreneurship
- Adds value to your CV and your community
Why volunteering should be on your to-do list...
The work place is changing fast. The predictable well-trodden career route no longer exists for most graduates. To build a successful career, you need to take control of the future. You need to create your own path and not miss any opportunities that come your way. If none exist, you man even need to create them.
Volunteering is a brilliant way to gain some of the skills and experiences employers will be looking for. It also has the priceless benefit of boosting your academic skills with the real-life ones that employers really rate.
