OPPORTUNITIES FOR WORKING ABROAD

The CUSAFE committee is often asked whether the society runs overseas placements for students. We don't, unfortunately. However, we have obtained a list of those organisations which run voluntary placements of roughly suitable lengths (ie up to 3/4 months). We hope this will be of some use to our members.
