ACEN (2022). Australian Collaborative Education Network – 2022 Summary Report for Graduate Outcomes Survey Items. ACEN.
This report provides a summary of results from the ACEN items included as part of the 2022 GOS. Results for each item are shown at an overall level, that is, across all participating members, and include 2022 ACEN Member Summary Report data for 2022 only. These results provide important national benchmarks to which institutions can compare their own performance.
Charts and tables are used throughout the report (see List of Tables and List of Figures for further details). Each chart and table include a description of which survey respondents have been included in results, the number of responses provided for each chart, and the question asked in the survey. All results presented only include survey respondents who gave a valid response and do not include those who did not answer a question. As such, bases vary for each item asked.
To assist with analysis some derived variables were created to measure participation in any WIL activity (ACEN1) and participation in employability-related activities (ACEN3). Employability-related activities are undertaken through extra- or co-curricular arrangements and, therefore, are not for academic credit and are not part of a students’ formal program of study. Refer to Appendix 1 for a complete list of ACEN questionnaire items.
Topline and equity group results have been presented for all graduates who provided a valid response and filtered to the graduate record level to ensure no double counting for graduates undertaking double degrees. Results presented by study area are shown for all graduates who provided a valid response, with graduates who completed double degrees in different study areas presented twice (aligning with QILT national reporting guidelines). Analysis on the impact of WIL has been undertaken to align with the GOS National Report, as such, data has been filtered to the graduate record level and domestic graduates.

For Australia to compete in the global economy, our university graduates need to be career-ready. This means they need to be flexible, adaptive and able to apply their technical skills to real-world situations. To support the acquisition of these skills, universities offer a broad range of opportunities for students to engage with the workforce while they undertake their degree.

University sport offer many opportunities for students to gain valuable skills and attributes. Whether it’s as a volunteer club office bearer navigating the complexities of sporting administration or as an employee working as a lifeguard at the uni-pool these roles are invaluable. Another key area that university sport supports the principle of university education is […]
