Support for International Students from the Careers and Employability Team
Welcome to the University of Kent. We are the Careers and Employability service, our purpose is to support students on their career journey. We are here to provide impartial advice which will help you in your professional development and search for employment.
As a service we are here to provide you with impartial careers advice that can help you find future employment. An adviser will not recommend one route to you over another. We are here to help you explore options objectively.
Students can bring roles to us they are applying for and get 1-2-1 feedback on applications. This can help you succeed within the recruitment process.
Although we do not actively seek roles for you, we can provide guidance on where to search for roles and how to gain the skills you may need for your chosen career path. Our advisers are all trained experts and are equipped to give you advice you can action to succeed.
