Volunteering

In order to remain competitive in the global workforce of today and to give something back to their local communities, students look to gain practical experience whilst they are studying through volunteering.  There are often opportunities for the public sector and charity organisations to develop a part of their organisation through engaging a student volunteer.  The student will bring enthusiasm, a fresh outlook and up to date methodologies and theory in their chosen area of study; whilst the organisation contributes a real project that the student can work on and be proud to place on their CV as valuable experience for the day they enter the job market.

Where the organisation is a business we recommend that you engage student ideas through either a graduate role, part time employment or by engaging a course leader in a student project.  You can find details on all of these initiatives by following the links.

If you feel your organisation has a project that would benefit from a volunteer, please contact Purple Door Recruitment.
