University of Kent Placement

Yes. University of Kent’s Careers and Employability team does the job of improving and enhancing the student-employer connect. There are various career fairs that are organized by University of Kent in collaboration with other Universities such as University of Portsmouth, Canterbury Christ Church University, The University of Buckingham, etc. Through these career fairs employers get a chance to meet and talk to a pool of student talent, host live presentations, build brand through visual stand design and content, etc. The University also provides various placement and internship schemes that further improve student-employer connections.

Volunteering is a great way to improve your employability and contribute to community at the same time. Students can enhance their resume and at the same time get their work recognised from the University through its Employability Points Scheme. Students can find volunteering opportunities through various online portals such as TargetConnect, NHS website, Kent County Council website, Volunteer Centre, etc. It is advised that those who wish to gain experience, contribute to community at large, and improve their profile can opt for volunteering. Students can contribute to various sectors such as geriatric care, assistance to underprivileged people, environmental protection, etc.
