# After this Course

There's no substitute for real-world experience. If you'd like to get experience in a low-risk but real-world setting, consider [joining the OCF](https://ocf.io/getinvolved) as a volunteer staff member. There, you'll be able to put the things you learn in this course to use, and help other students while you're at it. Best of all- **there's no application process**! Just drop by and say hi :)
