Kent is proud to have presented its Employability Points Scheme at a Europe-wide workshop on student employability. The workshop was organised by the SGroup European Universities Network of which Kent is a member, UNICA and the Compestela Group of Universities.

The workshop, which included speakers from higher education, business and NGOs sought to highlight best practice in promoting student employability across Europe. It took place at the Vrije Universiteit Brussel and involved participants from across Europe.

During the workshop, Matt Cook, EP Officer, presented a case study of the scheme, demonstrating how it is both progressive and unique to the higher education sector.

Matt commented:

‘The sixth Joint Workshop of the UNICA-SGroup-Compestela Group Networks was a fantastic opportunity for Kent to demonstrate the innovative and pioneering nature of the Employability Points Scheme. It was most valuable hearing from European institutions about the challenges associated with student employability on both a local and European scale.’
