WP Outreach Participant Targeting/Selection Skills Session

New

Cambridge Admissions Office has organised a series of briefing sessions in the coming weeks aimed at Schools Liaison Officers, Faculty/Department Outreach Staff, and any academics and staff members who will communicate with potential students.

Aimed at outreach practitioners with less experience using targeting/selection on their outreach programmes, this skills-based session will provide examples of good practice implementing targeting/selection drawn from experience running CAO programmes. The session will also explore ways to use other data sources and HEAT to make the process easier.

This session follows on from a briefing delivered in March explaining the new targeting/selection criteria adopted by the Collegiate University.

• College SLOs/Admissions Staff
• Faculty/Department staff with outreach, widening participation, recruitment or admissions roles
• University staff who are interested in running public engagement events or activities with a pre-undergraduate audience.

Number of sessions: 1

• Improve targeting and selection methods for recruitment events and widening participation activity across the University
• Improve knowledge and awareness of tools and datasets available for members of University staff to use to target schools and students.
