King's Careers & Employability unveils new Careers Centre at Strand Campus
Our new space is designed to support more engaging discussions, interactions and engagement.
Have you visited our new Strand Careers Centre yet? If not, what are you waiting for?
The refresh of our Strand Careers Centre has been completed today with the installation of new wall vinyls showcasing our #BuildingSuccess branding and our career journey stages.
We've also provided more space for informal careers discussions and our Careers Lounges will allow students and researchers to hear about how to make the most of our digital services, explore meaningful work experience and meet employers.
Most importantly, we've incorporated various planting within the space as part of our broader commitment to sustainable practices.
We look forward to welcoming our students, researchers and employers to make use of the space in the months ahead!
When are you open?
Our Careers Centre is open Monday-Friday throughout the year (except when the University is closed for Christmas) from 09:30 - 16:30 GMT/BST daily.
Outside of those hours, our digital services - including King's CareerConnect, KEATS and digital platforms like CareerSet are available 24/7. You'll still be able to book an appointment, view opportunities, explore our Pathways and access our podcasts, recordings and event calendar.
Appointments and events continue to be available both in-person and virtually.
