University of Kent's Employability Points Scheme

employability_points

The University of Kent’s Employability Points Scheme encourages students to engage with extra-curricular activities and rewards the most engaged students with internships, work experience placements, vouchers and much more.

For each extra-curricular activity completed, students can claim ‘points’ and towards the end of each academic year, these points can be redeemed for ‘rewards’ offered by the external business community. See: www.kent.ac.uk/employabilitypoints

EPS Reward and Reflection - Reflect Digital, Digital Marketing Internship

When I started this EPS Journey, I never expected this amazing outcome that I gained from it. Logging my points made me believe that I have so much experience behind me that I am ready to start my career after I graduate and I am not scared. The most useful experience for me was doing the interviews for the rewards as usually I am quite intimidated by them because I haven't really had any. However, I was really happy with the outcome and how I behaved throughout all of them from what I wore to the answers I gave which allowed me to be less afraid of them. 

Even though University is a very stressful time, I am glad I managed to be a part of this scheme and ensure I do not graduate feeling lost. I have managed to find a passion in volunteering and working on what I love and I am excited to start this chapter in my Digital Marketing Internship at Reflect Digital, which is one of the rewards I gained from these interviews. Graduating is a very exciting time but now I know where I am heading, the EPS scheme managed to allow me to realise that. I am extremely grateful for this wonderful opportunity and I cannot wait to start my journey beyond this scheme.
