Getting students into productive graduate employment and further study.

Building an evidence-based Access and Participation Plan online series of events

Identifying and addressing risk is central to the new Access and Participation Plans (APPs). This series of events provides the opportunity to identify how across the whole student lifecycle you can address risk through powerful interventions that work and strategic planning. There will be three, separate online events, each one concentrating on a different aspect of the student lifecycle. Each event will include case studies of award-winning initiatives led by NEON members and opportunities for sharing knowledge and working together on common challenges.

This is the third event in the series “Building an evidence-based Access and Participation Plan – how do you do it?” The two other events are: Widening access and equality of opportunity – closing gaps and increasing participation  and  Bridging attainment gaps, improving completion and achieving student potential.

Event 3: Wednesday 24th April, ‘Getting students into productive graduate employment and further study’ 

Sessions will include: 

• University of Leeds: The Plus Programme – a support network approach that includes transition activities and enhanced careers support.  
• Queen Mary, University of London: Qmentoring – Qmentoring offers one-to-one support from alumni or employers. 
• University of East London: The Funded Internship Scheme –supporting undergraduates from under-represented groups, to access internships and improve their student outcomes.

The featured initiatives have been developed from each HEP’s assessment of risk, been developed taking account of existing research and that have been nominated for a NEON Award or have been featured at our annual Summer Symposium. The aim of the event is to give HEPs practical examples of the types of approaches and interventions they could include in their APPs thus helping other organisations examples of practice that will help them to deliver their own plans.

In addition to the presentations each event will allow delegates to interact and share their own experiences of developing approaches which are being adopted to meet their own risks and meet the goals set out within their APPs.

These events promise to help HEPs who attend with their APP development and submit plans that will make a difference to learners who we all work so hard to support.

All events in these series  will be from 10am-4pm and will be run over Zoom.
