Career Support for Undergraduates’ Engagement with Services (CUES) - For Staff

<p>  </p> <p>CUES (Career Support for Undergraduates’ Engagement with Services) began as a UCL Changemaker funded project that aimed to identify factors that influence UCL undergraduate students’ engagement with university careers provision. Two third year dissertations (Henry Wang & Chloe Wang, 2022) focused on understanding the employability skills that undergraduates value and undergraduates’ expectations of university careers services through semi-structured focus group sessions with Psychology with Education undergraduates across years one to three (<em>N</em> = 28). Study details and resources are publicly available online on UCL Repository (<a href="https://rdr.ucl.ac.uk/articles/presentation/Career_support_for_Undergraduates_Engagement_with_Services_CUES_Study/20343201" target="_blank">Wong, 2022</a>).</p> <p><br></p> <p>  </p> <p><strong>UCL Changemaker Continuation Fund 2022/23: </strong></p> <p><strong>CUES – For Staff Project</strong></p> <p>Building on the findings from the CUES study, Dr Keri Wong and two student co-researchers embarked on CUES – For Staff, a project that involved communicating findings from the CUES study and in-person discussions on with Undergraduate (UG) (<em>N </em>= 9) and Postgraduate (PG) teaching staff (<em>N = </em>8) on how they can better integrate careers guidance into their teaching curricula. The UG and PG workshops took place on two separate occasions, with a third one taking place online for those who couldn’t make the previous sessions (<em>N = </em>5). It was evident from both workshops that the staff were pleased to be there, and they all had lots that they wanted to discuss. </p>
