Careers and employability

Presented by Generation Delta, these training resources emerged directly from the Workshops organised by this project and held around the country between 2022 and 2025 to understand and enhance the experience of racially minoritised women students at the postgraduate research level. They are designed with the needs of these women in mind, but we hope they will help all those wishing to pursue a research career in higher education.

In 2023, the Yorkshire Consortium for Equity in Doctoral Education (YCEDE) launched the Inclusive Research Network on LinkedIn; this document is intended to help researchers discover and utilise similar networks and enhance the reach of their profile.

This resource was created by Yorkshire Consortium for Equity in Doctoral Education (YCEDE), one of the 13 Research England-funded projects focused on racial equity and widening access to postgraduate education.

This document was created by YCEDE and outlines proposals to the YCEDE Management Board for the establishment of an in-house training programme for mentors and advocates who are signed up to the YCEDE mentorship and advocacy programmes. The proposal includes recommendations and things to consider as part of setting up such a programme.

This review of the preparation of graduate teaching assistants (GTAs) was commissioned by the UKCGE because there have been many developments in the last ten years both in our understanding of academic practice and of the context in which doctoral researchers are working.
