Supporting Careers of LGBTQIA+ Students in Australian Universities

Role
Collaborator
Description
Australians who identify as lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer/questioning, intersex, asexual and more (LGBTQIA+) face tremendous challenges in preparing careers through higher education. However, there is very limited knowledge on how they are being supported to achieve better career outcomes and what unique expectations they hold for university support systems. Findings from this research suggested the importance of visible role models in the workplace and the efficacy of providing specific mentoring for students.
