Work Experience

Jack

I am just about to complete a CIPD Level 3 Certificate in HR Practice, however I do not have any actual work experience in HR yet.

Could someone please provide advice on the best way to gain work experience (even if unpaid) in either HR or at least within an 'office' environment.

  • In relation to some of the posts on here about their being 'Data Protection Issues' involved in HR volunteering, does anyone have advice on getting more 'generic' office experience'.

    Hi Jack, same as the advice I gave about HR volunteering - contact some charities around your area (including the Wildlife Trust) and ask. Re the 'Data Protection Issues' in HR volunteering....not sure what those would be. For example, if I was to take on an HR volunteer he/she would undergo the GDPR training that all inductees do, plus I'd also do some 1:1 training with that person prior to them having access to any staff data - fairly simple really. Of course, if you were to be accessing under 18s data, you would need to be DBS checked and have that training too - but working with under 18s is a different thing to main-stream HR so far as I'm aware.
