Exploring the World of Work
They say, “find something you love, and you’ll never work a day in your life.” But how do you find that perfect fit when there are thousands of careers out there – many of which didn’t even exist a decade ago? The truth is, we only know what we know. So many industries are powered by behind-the-scenes roles that often go unnoticed, yet they offer exciting and fulfilling career paths. The key to discovering your ideal job is to stay curious, explore different options, and be open to possibilities you may never have considered.

Volunteering
Whatever we do at work or for leisure, most of us will have come into contact with a volunteer, whether for a small grassroots organisation or a larger well-known charity. We can all appreciate the difference they make to their local community, but why do volunteer? There are many reasons why people want to volunteer, but here are some of the key reasons:
- Give Back – Many volunteer to support causes they are passionate about and give back to their communities
- Personal Growth – Volunteering can provide new experiences, help build skills and expand professional networks
- Mental Well-Being – Volunteering is proven to improve mental health, reduce stress and provide a sense of purpose
- Social connections – Volunteering fosters social cohesion, helping individuals connect with diverse groups and build friendships
- Career advancement – Volunteering can enhance your CV and open up new career opportunities.
