Addressing placement inequities via participatory action research
This project tackled placement poverty and exclusion faced by university students, especially those from equity-deserving groups, by co-developing 40 practical solutions with students and educators. The report identifies how universities, industry and government can help create a fairer, more inclusive experience for students required to undertake work placements as part of their studies.
