Organisations offering Voluntary / Work Experience - Home and Abroad

Newly qualified graduates often ask the question "How can I can obtain experience of the skills and qualities required by employers" - simple  - many organisations offer voluntary and work experience opportunities and from these you can gain lots of skills and qualities through the different types of work available, not forgetting the transferable skills, whilst acquiring hands on experience and building up a network contacts, all of these help with career planning.

With the increasing globalisation and being a member of the European Union more opportunities to travel and work overseas also exist and are easily available, so if you want to see a bit of the world along the way, this could be a good option for you.
