Project title: On the Places We Will Go: SCDMS Student Employment Aspirations

Team members: Nicholas Sheppard, Rowena Butland

Brief summary of your project (200 words maximum): A recent CSIRO study found that employment in digital industries is predominantly in the east and north Sydney, meaning that students and graduates of the School of Computer, Data and Mathematical Sciences based in Western Sydney may face a choice of commuting long distances to a place of employment, moving out of the region, or working locally in a field not related to their studies. This project will explore SCDMS students’ motivations, anticipations and expectations for study and work in fields that may take them ‘away’ from their home communities through a survey and focus groups.

Partner name/partner contribution (e.g. AusScope/$10000): School of Social Sciences/up to $2000 transcription credits.

CDMS contribution: $5000
