Membership of professional organisaitons is always helpful - and for students it’s often free too!

Benefits include careers advice including access to information about internships and placements, and the ability to move from student membership to a more professional grade once you have graduated and gone through some kind of assessment process.

For some careers (psychology, accounting etc) membership is a prerequisite for being able to practise.
