- Additional information
- This paper identified barriers to co-op/ student work placement and influenced successful further funding proposals for a national student placement programme (SFC £1.3m) and led to follow-on UK and international collaboration (e.g. Smith, S., Taylor-Smith, E., Bacon, L., & Mackinnon, L. (2019). Equality of opportunity for work experience? Computing students at two UK universities “play the game”. British Journal of Sociology of Education, 40(3), 324-339.). An early version of the work in a conference proceeding was cited by Sir Nigel Shadbolt’s UK government report: Review of Computer Science Degree Accreditation and Employability.
