STAND OUT - Training Opportunities
All students need more than the skills learnt in a lecture theatre or seminar room to help them prepare for the working world. This is why Kent Union offers additional STAND OUT training sessions, for all Kent students for free! You get a certificate of attendance after each session for your C.V, and can pick up some vital skills in the process.
Each session also counts as one of the 2 compulsary training sessions for the KSCV Gold, so if you are struggling to find some training before booking your Gold place, get yourself on one of these sessions!
Places are limited so please book early to avoid disappointment. To book a place please complete this form and email to standout@kent.ac.uk
