NCSEHE: Meaningful Jobs for Students with Disability - From Luck to Business as Usual
All people have the right to work and free choice of employment, but some Australians continue to face employment barriers because they live with disability. University students with disability (SwD) are disadvantaged in the job market. This project used a mixed methods approach to gather data from SwD as well as staff working in disability, careers, other professional roles and academic/teaching roles. The objectives were to suggest ways of improving universities’ provision of careers services for SwD by identifying factors that drive targeted service provision as well as barriers to it.
