Dear Student,Welcome to the 2014 Internships and Volunteering Fair organised the UCD Career Development Centre.The importance of undertaking voluntary work and internships has never been greater. Graduate employers are primarily interested in recruiting students who have “made a difference”, who are active in their own career and personal development. In effect this means that students actively involved in activities such as clubs, societies and sports, students who volunteer and those who undertake internships in their chosen career area are best placed to succeed in the job market.

The Internships & Volunteering Fair presents students with an ideal opportunity to access a range of personal and career development activities, to network with graduate recruiters and to develop key transferable skills sought by them.

After the Fair remember to make a use of the Career Development Centre which is situated in the James Joyce Library Building and visit our website at www.ucd.ie/careers to access our on-line services. Whatever it is you intend doing when you complete your studies at UCD, we want to help you develop and implement your career action plan. Members of staff at the Career Development Centre wish you well and look forward to meeting you at the Fair and at our Centre.

Best wishes,

Dr David FosterDirector – UCD Career Development Centre
