Staff Roles and Capacity Building in Student Engagement

In 2017, the National Working Group of the National Student Engagement Programme (NStEP) Pilot selected five national projects as a focus arising from the themes identified in the Pilot Institutional Analysis report.  The objective of each project was to establish guidelines, suitable for the diversity of the sector, on a designated project area. The Project Team led by Cork Institute of Technology’s AnSEO (Student Engagement Office) and the CIT Students’ Union developed a series of ‘Quick Guides’ for staff in higher education. These guides provide a handy basis for assessing student engagement within your own professional context, including ways in which you might enhance your practices or those of your department.
