Careers andemployability

To prepare for today’s competitive job
market, students often need to think
about developing professional skills
and enhancing their employability
while still at university. Statistics showthat employers prefer to hire someone
with six months of experience rather

than a new graduate – even one with
an amazing academic record. It’s
therefore essential for students toundertake work experience so thatthey can demonstrate commitment,
develop skills and learn about theirchosen field before they graduate.

Employability

The ECS team supports students with
one-to-one careers advice, CV/cover
letter guidance, interview practicesessions, and help with finding andsecuring placements or internships.

Kamal Farid
Entrepreneur and Engineer

BEng Hons Civil Engineering, 2017
When Kamal travelled to the UK from
Egypt to study, he didn’t anticipate
that his dissertation might havethe impact to make a revolutionarychange in the construction industry
and to become his new venture.
Kamal decided to use his dissertation
to focus on solving three of the UK’s
biggest infrastructure challenges:
carbon emissions, rainwater runoff
and winter flooding. Although
this was not an approved topic at
the time, with a little persistence
he managed to persuade histutor to change their mind.
Kamal’s solution was Carbon
Negative Permeable Pavement
System (CNPPS), the first recycled

34road surface that absorbs carbon
during manufacturing and reduces
runoff by allowing rainwater to soak
through. After developing the concept,
Greenwich i3 Centre offered him
training in business development
and mentoring, plus materials
and facilities to turn his
idea into a product.
Kamal has now raised the seedfunding for CNPPS and will
launch a new round of fundingin March 2019. “It was a toughjourney, full of ‘no’s’ from different
investors, but with dedication
there is always a way forward”.

In 2017, Kamal Farid won the university’s Enterprise
Challenge and in 2018 was a finalist in the Mayor of
London’s Entrepreneur Competition, but, he says,
he would not have been able to finance or research
CNPPS without the support of the i3 Centre.
