9.2.2 Experience
Any employer related
to
sustainability
or
not,
will
be
interested
in
taking
somebody
on
that
has
had
at
least
some
relevant
work
experience
when
they
apply.
Volunteering
or
taking
on
an
internship
at
a
relevant
organisation
or
company
can
be
a
good
way
to
gain
this
experience,
and
also
to
get
a
better
idea
if
that
type
of
work
is
what
you
are
looking
for.
Below
is
a
list
of
websites
that
list
opportunities
for
volunteering
in
the
UK
and
abroad
in
the
field
of

volunteering
opportunities
of
a
specific
interest
will
provide
a
more
detailed
selection
of
vacancies.
