How do I get involved with project work?

Good Morning Folks

I am unemployed at the moment, but some of my friends have advised the best way to increase your social network is to get involved in project work once I find a job.

This may sound like a silly question, but how do I get involved with project work? Do I go out of my way to ask my line manager for this type of work?

Unfortunately, I don't have any experience of this in the work place, is there any type of training/experience I should gain wihich would give more of a chance to be selected for this type of work?

Thanks
