Careers and employability

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.
