The Careers and Employability Service is delighted to announce that two University students have been awarded prizes for the high quality of their paid work on campus. Law and Sociology student Emma Rayfield (employed via the University’s Work-Study Scheme) and Biomedical Science student Cheryl Bonney (employed via Kent Union’s Jobshop) both worked as Student Experience Assistants (Research).

Emma and Cheryl’s work involved contributing to the Destinations of Leavers from Higher Education (DLHE) survey to discover the employment and further study University of Kent graduates had obtained since leaving the University. The DLHE survey is important to the University as its data feeds into UK Higher Education league tables. The two students were part of a team of fourteen working for the Careers and Employability Service before Christmas. They developed a range of graduate-level employability skills as part of their work, including planning, organising and verbal communication.
