BENEFITS OF VOLUNTEERING
Boost Your Career Options
Volunteering is the perfect way to explore new fields, expand your work portfolio in your field, or gain a real insight into your chosen path. A recent survey* showed:
- 73% of employers would recruit a candidate with volunteering experience over one without
- 94% of employers believe that volunteering can add to skills
- 94% of employees who volunteered to learn new skills had benefited either by getting their first job, improving their salary, or being promoted
Learn or develop new professional & technical skills
Volunteering is a perfect vehicle to discover something you are really good at or develop a professional and/or technical skill that can benefit your career.
Be part of your professional community
Volunteering is ultimately about helping others and having an impact on people's well-being. What better way is there to connect with your community and give a little back? Volunteering also offers an incredible networking opportunity. You never know who you will meet or what new information you will learn.
Give back to future generations of scientists & engineers
Volunteering allows you to share your experiences and knowledge with the next generation of engineers and scientists.
Self-motivate and have a sense of achievement
Volunteering is about giving your time, energy, and skills freely. Unlike many things in life, there is a choice involved in volunteering. Package your desire and enthusiasm to help make a difference in your industry, or just your little corner of the world.
