Working for a Charity

Working For A Charity exists to promote the voluntary sector as a positive career option for those seeking paid employment and to promote the opportunities and benefits of becoming a volunteer to people who wish to do unpaid work. Working For A Charity aims to increase understanding of the voluntary sector and to encourage new people, with their resources and skills, to join and strengthen the sector. In January 2005 Working For A Charity merged with National Council for Voluntary Organisations (NCVO) and now forms part of the Workforce Hub.

WfC are now offering a course delivered over the Internet, enabling you to learn about the voluntary sector in your own time. The course ran for the first time in 2007. Enrol now for the next course, which is due to start in February 2008. http://www.wfac.org.uk/?Training:Online_Learning_Course
