• Interactive Workshop:Participate in group activities and workshops where you'll put your learnings into practice. Learn to identify and articulate the employability skills you can develop through different volunteering opportunities. If you’ve already participated in volunteering, the team can guide you on how to feature your volunteering experiences and employability skills on resumes and job applications!

• Networking Opportunities: Meet and network with fellow students and staff from your faculty and experienced volunteers. A free afternoon tea will also be provided!
