University of Kent Careers & Employability Service

A story of determination alongside the power of forging your network and taking opportunities. Read about one of our 2024 Female Changemakers - Beth Matthews.

The Careers and Employability Service is always thrilled to welcome back University of Kent Alumni to talk to our students and graduates. It was amazing to have Beth as one of our key speakers during our Inspiring Women Week programme last week, our series of events which coincide with International Women's Day.

Beth studied Film Studies at University of Kent between 2015 - 2018 and has had an exciting career journey since. During her session on Friday, she highlighted the importance of building a valuable network and taking opportunities.

Read about Beth's journey and find out about her experience in the freelance world, as well as what lead to her taking an opportunity to train as an Access Coordinator with ScreenSkills, a move which changed her life and resulted in her being hired as the first ever in house Access Coordinator in the UK at ITV Studios.
