Jayne Graham MBE FIEP talks to IEP about the value of volunteering

MD of Society Matters cic Jayne Graham MBE FIEP, newly appointed as a Fellow of the Institute of Employability Professionals, leads a webinar discussion about how volunteering is a powerful route to employment and employability.

We were so proud to see our MD, Jayne Graham MBE, made a Fellow of the Institute of Employability Professionals (iep) at the end of last year, a fitting tribute to Jayne’s work over many years in the field of employability. 

In December she was invited by the iep to lead a webinar about the value of volunteering as a route to employment and improved employability. Jayne talked about the need for us to ‘change the narrative’ around volunteering, and not be afraid of acknowledging that people can gain a lot from it for themselves, as well as it being a great way of giving back to others.
