Maximising Your Time as a Degree Apprentice, Chapter 18: Developing your experience

About this chapter

Look for ways to build experience beyond the standard, such as taking ownership of a project or initiative and volunteering when people ask for help.

Informal opportunities include charity days, beta testing and helping organise events.
Formal projects are different: you're assigned a role and expected to deliver, which makes strong CV evidence.
Initiatives are less formal than projects, which usually have a budget and a start and end date.
Don't over-commit: do one or two things properly.
