There are many ways for you to develop your career through activities such as training and delivering presentations for example, but it can be more difficult to find opportunities to grow your management or project skills. Volunteering for Institute activities can help to fill that gap.
Volunteering shows that you are a dedicated professional, willing to give something back to a discipline that has given you the chance to see and experience things no other single discipline could.
There are a variety of volunteering opportunities open to you which can be very rewarding and add to your own CPD.
