  • Course Review Graduate Employability Indicators Report
    Accounting graduates and the capabilities that count: Perceptions of graduates, employers and Accounting academics in four Australian universities Beverley Oliver1, Barbara Whelan1, Lynne Hunt2, Sara Hammer2 [email protected], [email protected], [email protected], [email protected] 1 Curtin University, 2 University of Southern Queensland Abstract The higher education sector in Australia is moving rapidly towards greater accountability in regard to graduate employability outcomes. Currently, data on new graduates‘ self- reported generic skills and employment status provide the evidence base for universities to make judgements about the effectiveness of curricula in preparing students for employment. This paper discusses alternative sources of evidence, namely the Graduate Employability Indicators (GEI) - a suite of three online surveys designed to supplement current indicators. They are designed to gather and report graduate, employer and course (teaching) team perceptions of the achievement and importance of graduate capabilities within specific degree programs. In 2009 and 2010, the surveys were administered to stakeholder groups associated with Accounting degrees in four Australian universities. In total, 316 graduates, 99 employers and 51 members of the course teaching teams responded to the surveys. This report presents the aggregated results from the trial. These suggest that the fourteen capabilities at the heart of the GEI are considered important, and that both quantitative and qualitative items facilitate the reporting of essential information. Both Accounting employers and teaching staff consider that important capabilities need to be better demonstrated by new graduates. The graduates themselves identified ways in which their courses can be improved to enhance their early professional success.

  • Edebone-Weber Shield
    Edebone-Weber Shield This Shield recognises 2 Softball legends: Peta Edebone from Australia and Gina Weber from New Zealand, for their outstanding contributions to the game in their respective countries. This competition is run in conjunction with the Gilley's Shield and coincides with the inclusion of the New Zealand White Sox into the competition for the first time. Peta Edebone is known for her courage, dedication and commitment to the pursuit of success. She began her representative career when she was chosen for the Victorian U16 team in 1984 and played for 3 years in the junior ranks. Peta represented the Victorian Open Women's team for a total of 15 years, including captaining the team from 1994-2004. In 1993 Peta won the Sybil Turner Medal for Best Batter at the Australian Open Women's Fastpitch Championship and in 1997, at the same event, won the Midge Nelson Medal for Most Valuable Player. New Zealand's Gina Weber is probably the best recognised name in New Zealand women's Softball. The 1.90m (6' 3") pitcher's first experience of international Softball was with the New Zealand B team in 1982. She did enough in that side to be included in the New Zealand team that won the gold medal at the world championship later that year in Taiwan. That world championship was to be her first of 4 such tournaments at that level. She also played in the 1995 Olympic Games qualifying tournament. After that Weber, who played represented Wellington, Auckland and North Harbour during her playing career, took time out from the game, but returned to captain the White Sox at the Sydney Olympics in 2000.
