Project Details

Description

The Napthine Review highlighted the low Higher Education (HE) participation rates for Indigenous students in regional and remote areas which is reflected in the CDU Strategic Plan where the unit success rate in 2021 is 61%.
Aims:
Promote equality and improve the opportunities for Indigenous people to participate, remain, and succeed in HE, and graduate.
Complete desktop audit of CDU/BIITE Partnership in Northern Territory (NT) Indigenous HE, such as what the HE landscape looks like for Indigenous people.
Work with one community to complete mapping of HE graduates stories, experiences, and employability.
For one community, the project team will do the mapping and look for impediments to HE access.
Build strategies based on feedback from the mapping process for how to engage people in the community with HE learning.
Build and apply mapping model tailored to community and individual Indigenous graduate needs. This will inform policy strategies and pathways to ensure Indigenous Australians are given access to HE.
Complete mapping of HE graduates stories, experiences, and build strategies informed by graduates in the community that will enhance HE participation in that community.
Outcomes will have:
in response to the mapping, successfully enabled the preparation of cross-cultural programs and pastoral care tailored to meet Indigenous undergraduate and postgraduate aspirations and needs,
built strategies based on feedback from the mapping process for how to engage people in the community with HE learning,
delivered improvement in enrolment, retention rates and employability for students, and
ensured graduate stories are available to upload on CDU/BIITE webpage.
