A peer-to-peer support model for developing graduate students’ career and employability skills
TLDR
In this article, a research student peer-to-peer support program is presented as a model that contributes to the development of graduate career planning and employability skills in Australian universities.Abstract:
Career opportunities for Australian research graduates have expanded in recent years into areas outside academia. However, the employment market is highly competitive, and Australian universities have recognised the need to produce graduates with transferable skills across all sectors, not just academia. The need to provide an infrastructure to support the career and skill development of research students has become essential, with funding from the Australian government hinging on institutions providing explicit graduate outcomes. This paper presents a research student peer-to-peer support programme as a model that contributes to the development of graduate career planning and employability skills.read more
