Following last year’s project, Your Future, One Step at a Time, the Careers and Employability Service in collaboration with the School of Politics and IR, will again be running a series of mental health and employment sessions during the autumn term. The project offers students who self-identify with mental health conditions to receive support in informal group sessions, which focuses on employability.
Sessions will include topics on: managing anxiety in the workplace, disclosing a mental health condition and developing career confidence, which will be delivered on the Canterbury campus.
The introductory session will begin during #EmpFest18 on the 5th October 2018, which will focus on ‘Preparing for the Careers Fair Access Hour’. The Access Hour will run from 10am – 11am during the Careers Fair, for students who may find the Fair daunting, enabling them to meet with employers in a less crowded environment.
There will then be three further sessions on Wednesday 31 October, 7 and 14 November from 1pm – 2pm. The workshops will be open to all students, who are able to attend any of the sessions – one, two or all!
Sessions will be available to book online via Target Connect at: www.careers.kent.ac.uk/home.html
