Gaining Workplace Experience


Volunteering is your chance to step into the real world and gain hands-on, practical experience in areas you’re passionate about.

Here are some possibilities to kick-start your journey:

  • Share Your Expertise: Coach a sport you love or help someone improve their tech skills.

  • Learn New Talents: Art, Web Design, Radio Skills, Outdoor Activities Co-ordinator

  • Volunteer in retail and master marketing, customer service, and stock management.

  • Help at an animal shelter and discover how to care for and understand animal behaviour.

  • Contribute to environmental projects, like beach clean-ups, upcycling projects, support research around wildlife and learn to organise effective environmental initiatives.

Where to Begin:

  • Identify what excites you: Your passions and goals should guide your choices.

  • Think practically: How will your volunteering fit around school, work, or other commitments?

  • Be proactive: Let organisations know what skills you hope to develop, so they can tailor your experience.

Keep Track:

  • Record all your hours and training: it’ll make building your CV easier.

  • Use our downloadable volunteer template to stay organised.

  • Spread the word about your volunteering adventures. Get friends and family involved for even more fun!
