If you are you finding it difficult to 'get in' to animal welfare or find the right animal job or if you have no previous animal care experience, then it is worth considering volunteering whilst you are studying. This will increase your chances of employment considerably as you will gain valuable, practical animal care work experience and you may even be offered a job or training opportunity at the place you are volunteering for. Click here for useful information about voluntary work in animal charities and a comprehensive list of animal welfare organisations that run voluntary work programmes and are currently looking for volunteers.
