Kent students need you!<\/span><\/span><\/h4>\n

As a former student, you might well remember how challenging it was to get those first steps on the career ladder.\u00a0 In today\u2019s competitive job market, we\u2019re doing all that we can to give Kent students the skills they need to get ahead \u2013 and you might be able to help!<\/p>\n

We\u2019re looking for companies who can offer graduate-level internships to students, enhancing their skills and providing you with a hard-working and well supported student.\u00a0 The scheme is matched funded, with the University contributing \u00a31,000 to match pay from the employer for the placement.<\/p>\n

All students taking part are provided with a series of training activities designed to make them work-ready, ensuring that they are able to meet the requirements of the companies employing them. They are mentored throughout the application and interview process, and whilst working.<\/p>\n

Internships should comprise around 200 hours of activity and be undertaken at times to be agreed between the employer and student.\u00a0 Examples of previous roles include research, marketing & social media, events organising, finance and administration positions.<\/p>\n

Whether you have a start-up looking for some extra resource, or think this might be the perfect opportunity for your employer, you can find more information about the The Work-Study Scheme from Jen Davey or Hannah Greer in the Careers & Employability Service on 01227 816573 or email workstudy@kent.ac.uk<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
