National Career Development Month!
If you are considering making any kind of career change or just want to enrich your existing job, think about volunteering. Many companies have a commitment to community service and encourage employees to give back to the community. If your organization does not have such a program - start one.
Look around your existing organization or your community for committees, projects or civic organizations for volunteer opportunities. Volunteering can help you:
-build a network of professional contacts
-gain new competencies
-develop leadership abilities
-test out a new career field you wan to learn more about
-enrich your existing job
-give back your skills to your community
Here are 3 great resources to help you locate volunteer opportunities:
