Work and Opportunities Fund

Are you planning to undertake some unpaid work experience? Or, are you looking to complete a training course or attend a networking event? You could be entitled to £200 to support the costs of your experience!

Registered students are eligible to claim £200 towards unpaid work, training courses and networking events they may undertake whilst at university (extra-curricular) – helping towards the cost of travel, training fees, accommodation, work attire and childcare, to complete the experience.

To apply, students must be:

A registered student at the University of Kent, studying in the UK.
Undertaking work which is considered graduate-level or attending a training / networking opportunity that will support your employability upon graduation.
Claiming the funding against costs incurred in the first 3 weeks (or 120 hours) of your work experience.
Returning to university for at least one term after completing your work experience.
