ACEN Critical Conversations – The challenge of inclusive WIL and the consequence of not prioritising it

Date: Wed, 27 Apr 2022, 11:00 am - 12:00 pm
Location: Online

Organised by the ACEN Vic/Tas Chapter, this first national ACEN-NAGCAS Critical Conversation will use a disability lens to bring issues underpinning student engagement into focus. The Conversation will begin with a short presentation about current research findings. These findings indicate that universities do not sufficiently understand how students with disability think about their careers.

The ramifications for other equity students will be considered in the Critical Conversation’s breakout sessions. Key questions to be interrogated in the breakout sessions are:

ACEN Webinar: Impact of different types of WIL on perceived employability and graduate employment

Date: Wed, 4 May 2022, 11:00 am
Location: Online via Zoom

This webinar continues the series focused on data gathered by ACEN in the Graduate Outcomes Survey (2020 and 2021). The session will explore the impact of different types of WIL (work-based, non-workplace and global) on a range of graduate outcomes. Data will be presented for graduates at different course levels and will examine WIL’s influence on different measures of employment, along with graduate perceptions of their own employability and how well their course prepared them for their current job. The presenter will summarise key findings and consider their implications for WIL practitioners and those responsible for enhancing graduate employability.
