This summer, no fewer than four University of Kent students have spent time in the Arcade office. The university's pioneering Employability Points scheme challenges students to earn 'points' through co-curricular activities that qualify them to apply for experience opportunities, such as those with Arcade.
Supath Shrestha and Joram Antwi each joined us for two week work experience positions, and Emily Williams committed most of her summer - eight weeks - to being the Arcade intern! Most recently, Sean Massey came to the end of his work experience, bringing our summer programme to a close.
He said,
Prior to my time at Arcade I was hesitant about a career in marketing due to my degree not being directly related. However, thanks to my experience here I have become more confident in my abilities, taking on roles in market research and being giving a variety of different responsibilities; including looking into the company’s brand identity and creds deck. I feel I have not only developed myself personally but, working alongside Alex, have gained vital knowledge that I will be able to use and adapt to different scenarios in the future. I aim to further develop myself as a marketer and strategist to eventually gain a role within the industry.
We were blown away by all of their commitment and dedication, each finding ways to contribute hugely to our immersive technology business and, we hope, learning a bit along the way too.
We thank all four of them for all their hard work and wish them all the very best for the future, which looks incredibly bright.References for all four of the students are available, please send an email to contact@arcade-xr.com
