Volunteering

Student volunteering and employment week


Every February students from across the UK take part in Student Volunteering and Employment Week.

This is a perfect opportunity for students and graduates from the University of West London to take part in a showcase of events which helps them develop skills, gain experience and prepare for the graduate job market, whilst also making a positive difference to their local community.
 
The next Student Volunteering and Employment Week will be 18 – 24 February 2013.

If you are a student, graduate or community organisation and want to be involved in organising next years event please contact thevteam@uwl.ac.uk.
