GOS Webinars: Snapshots and changes
This webinar will give an overview of student participation in different types of WIL and the impact of WIL on graduate outcomes. It will draw on data collected from the ACEN items in the national Graduate Outcomes Survey, including responses from graduates who completed their degree qualifications during 2023. The session will explore any changes in graduate responses over the four years of collected data, as well as provide snapshots at the aggregated level (2020-2023 inclusive) for student groups and discipline areas. Attendees may wish to review the ACEN member reports on the WIL in GOS data prior to the session.
