Preparing for an interview? We’ve got you covered—from head to toe.
The Careers and Employability Service have partnered with Parky’s Preloved Charity Shop which supports the Parkinson’s Centre for Integrated Therapy, to offer free professional clothing for students with our new Dress for Success Wardrobe.
The cost of appropriate workwear can be a real barrier when securing work, so this initiative helps to ensure everyone has the opportunity to have access to professional workwear. Whether you have an interview coming up, are attending a careers networking event or completing some work experience, we can help to get you work ready!
The Wardrobe is open to all students to access, and you can choose up to 4 items of clothing, to either keep or return, to be used by other students.
👔 What’s available
• Blazers & suit jackets
• Shirts and smart tops
• Dresses & skirts
• Smart trousers
• Professional shoes
💼 Who is it for?
All Kent students preparing for:
• Job interviews
• Work experience
• Career fairs & networking events
How does it work?
Book a 30-minute slot via the Careers Hub (careers.kent.ac.uk), slots are available Tuesdays and Thursdays from 12pm – 2pm in term-time. Slots are limited to 2x people maximum.
