Kate Buchan recently joined the School of Computing as Employability Coordinator. She is based at the Canterbury campus but will also be regularly visiting the Medway campus.
Kate will be working closely with the placements team, the careers and employability service and employers to help all computing students improve their employability and get the career they want.
‘I am delighted to be working in the School of Computing and am looking forward to working with the students and helping them develop their career journey. Our students have a strong track record of securing a range of tech jobs across a variety of sectors. My role will be to coordinate all of the good work that is already happening within the School.’
Kate will be developing new initiatives including employability events, a blog and she will be continuing to send out weekly emails with job opportunities and events that are of interest to computing students.
If you have any questions about employability please contact Kate on csemploy@kent.ac.uk or pop in and see her in Cornwallis G01A, next to the placements office.
