Pathways to Tertiary online series site now live
April 28 to May 2021
P2T is an online series of events, culminating in a virtual opportunity to connect with TAFE and university disability practitioners. This project is aimed at improving the transition of students with disability from secondary school into tertiary education.
NDCOs will engage with stakeholders nationally including the VET and Higher Education sector to co-design the delivery of online content to provide students with disability and those that support them (including parents/caregivers, school educators/careers practitioners) with access to critical and timely information about preparing for tertiary education.
