2 Employability Festival: #EmpFest17 INTRODUCTION The University of Kent is committed to preparing its students for graduate employment. The Employability Festival is organised by the Careers and Employability Service so that Academic Schools, Professional Services and the Students’ Union can come together to offer students an exciting range of events. Get some valuable advice for personal development on topics such as CV writing, interview tips, work experience, learning what employers want from graduates and much more. You will receive Employability Points for attending talks and workshops (see below for more information). We also have two large fairs: the Employability Fair at the Medway campus (Wednesday 18 October) and the Careers Fair at the Canterbury campus (Tuesday 31 October), where you can meet and speak to graduate employers looking for students just like you. Use this programme to keep track of what’s happening at Medway to help you decide what you want to get involved with, and don’t forget to join the conversation using #EmpFest17 Events at the Medway campus 6 The Employability Points scheme rewards students for active engagement in extracurricular activities. Employability Festival activities all have Employability Points shown using the EP logo 25 .
