About the event

This session delves into the world of charity and non-profit work, sharing insider information on recruitment trends, in-demand roles and what to expect in the sector.

Our guest speakers are still to be confirmed but expect to hear about what first encouraged them to join the voluntary sector, an overview of their current role, and what a day on the job looks like. You will also have the opportunity to ask questions!
