What We Have Learned About Completing a VET Higher Degree by Research? (AQF 9–10 Focus)
Facilitated by Dr Llandis Barratt-Pugh and Steven Hodge
This interactive, participatory workshop invites participants to reflect on their HDR journeys, sharing both struggles and successes. Through discussions, participants will extract key learning points to contribute to the AVETREA community and guide future HDR candidates. They will have the opportunity to pass on their wisdom, helping others avoid the “snakes” and find the “ladders” in their own HDR journey. Reflecting on roadblocks faced, how they were overcome, and key “Eureka” moments will offer valuable insights for those starting or progressing through their HDR experience.
Target Audience: Individuals who are considering enrolling in a Higher Degree by Research (HDR) at AQF 9 – 10 levels, currently enrolled as HDR candidates, have completed an HDR, or have supervised HDR candidates.
