Work experience
We welcome requests from students who wish to complete work experience at the council.
We understand the importance of providing people with exposure to real-world working environments and different career options, developing practical skills and confidence.
Our departments have hosted a number of students from schools, colleges and universities across Kent. Get in touch and we will do our best to accommodate you.

HR will contact the relevant departments to find out if a placement is available.
Things to consider:

- due to high demand, placements during May - August will be considered on a first come first serve basis.
