I'm looking for a different way to get work experience that employers want.

For various reasons, a part-time job or internship are not appropriate. I know that campus activities and helping teachers and so on are also useful. But I hope I can get some other ideas for gaining experience and job skills that employers are looking for.

Thanks in advance.

Yes, volunteering is a great way to get the experience you may need, and CV gave you some awesome links there to a bunch of articles. Getting job experience can be a challenge but volunteering is a great way to learn and meet people, who may lead you to a future job as well.
