Online focus groups: Providing careers support to university students with disability
Event Details
Online via Zoom
30 June 2020
NCSEHE Equity Fellow David Eckstein is seeking participants for online focus groups on 30 June–2 July for his 2020 project on supporting the careers of university students with disability.
Professional and academic staff are invited to share their experience and opinion about the challenges and opportunities of providing careers support that meets the needs of university students with disability.
Short focus groups in each state will allow participants to contribute their experience, ask questions and learn about what works in different contexts, what barriers prevent better service provision, and what strategies might help us better support our students.
This project will culminate in the provision of open access tools and resources for all universities to use.
Please register for a one-hour online focus group in your state to help identify issues and generate strategies for universities to make improvements.
A link to the online focus group will be sent after registration.
