Reach for Excellence (RfE) is a program that aims to increase participation in higher education, especially at research intensive universities, among underrepresented groups in West Yorkshire. Key features include a sustained program of study skills sessions, subject skills sessions, a summer school, and university application assistance. The objectives are for participants to be more aware of higher education options, enter HE at higher rates than non-participants, and attend more research intensive universities. Outcomes showed RfE students were happier with guidance received, and higher percentages gained university places, including at research intensive universities, compared to a control group. Student and parent quotes praised increased confidence and awareness of opportunities from participating in RfE.

1. The document discusses next steps for improving student employability from a university perspective. 2. It argues for a broader definition of employability that includes social and personal factors beyond just skills. 3. The author notes younger students are less likely to seek career help or pursue internships and many feel it will be difficult to get their desired job, showing need for improved student engagement. 4. Increased partnerships between employers and universities, like expanded work placements, are presented as a way to further develop student employability.

The document discusses student retention initiatives between Student Affairs and Academic Affairs. It notes that the first year experience program had a retention rate of only 45% with 165 students not returning for reasons such as poor academic performance, financial problems, and conduct issues. It emphasizes the importance of high expectations, academic advising, and academic and social support for students. It also stresses the role of feedback, involvement, and national surveys in developing comprehensive retention initiatives.

School culture1

cheylp

School culture refers to the shared values and beliefs that define a school district, while school climate characterizes the feelings and attitudes within individual schools. School climate is directly linked to school success and is evident in how students and staff feel each day. Poor attendance and high office referrals are two strong predictors that students may not pass their freshman year. Improving school climate can involve student-led activities like tours for incoming students and presentations at school events that celebrate the school's values.

Transitioning to university involves adapting both academically and socially. Universities are taking a more holistic approach to support students through this process from pre-entry through the first year. This includes providing realistic information to help students choose the right program, extensive orientation activities, peer support networks, academic skills development, and access to support services to help students feel engaged and succeed. The goal is to set students up for long-term satisfaction and success through a coordinated, multi-stage transition process.

Washington State University Team Mentoring Program To meet the needs of an increasingly diverse student population, WSU launched the Team Mentoring Program (TMP) in 2007 to increase participation, persistence, achievement, and graduation of underrepresented minority students pursuing degrees in science, technology, engineering, and math. Students are connected to a multifaceted support system that includes upper-level students, faculty members, and program staff. TMP offers activities intended to strengthen connection to colleges; facilitate student success; increase STEM retention and graduation rates; and direct the student toward graduate / professional schools or leadership in the workforce. The comprehensive mentoring strategy has several focused tracks that, together, address many of the challenges that may cause attrition. These tracks include academic support; internship resources and professional development; undergraduate research opportunities; cultural understanding; and community-building. Scholarship support provided by the University and by corporate donors including AT&T and Boeing enable these activities. J.

This document summarizes challenges facing students in accessing and completing postsecondary education. It discusses gaps that many students face, such as aspirations gaps where they want to attend college but don't apply, readiness gaps where they graduate high school but aren't prepared for college-level work, and match gaps where students struggle to find postsecondary options suited to their needs. The document then outlines Hobsons' approach to helping students through college and career exploration, academic planning, matching to suitable institutions, and advising to promote student success. It provides examples of successful partnerships between Hobsons, K-12 schools, and colleges to help more students prepare for and complete postsecondary programs.

Crisis In Technical Education

umavalluri

This document discusses the crisis in technical and higher education in India. It notes that while access to education has increased dramatically with over 4000 new colleges, quality has suffered. Student enrollment has increased due to a focus on degrees rather than learning, and coaching institutes help students get into programs they may not be suited for. There is a mismatch between the large number of colleges and students, and the needs of the job market. The document calls for reforms in teacher education, student education, and strengthening institutions to improve engagement, thinking skills, and the overall learning process in order to address these issues.

The document discusses rising student expectations for their university experience and what students value. Students value high quality learning and teaching, employability opportunities like placements, career guidance, excellent resources, and a friendly campus environment. To develop a great student experience, universities must maintain respect between students and staff, recognize the value of student unions, listen to student views, and deliver supportive services. Universities should also look for ways to improve employability and keep alumni engaged after they graduate. Rising expectations require better information sharing and a focus on continual improvement to maintain high student satisfaction.
