Be part of the Nursing and Midwifery Graduate e-cohort study
The School currently conducts the Graduate e-cohort Study (GeC).
Nursing and midwifery graduates are invited to participate in a ten-year longitudinal workforce study conducted in collaboration with six universities from Australia and New Zealand. The GeC study examines the choices graduate nurses and midwives make in relation to employment and education in the years following graduation. Using e-cohort technology, surveys are completed online and an email address is all that is required to participate no matter where in the world a graduate might be located. Data collected inform industry, government and the education sector about the needs of our graduate nursing and midwifery workforces.
We look forward to your participation in the GeC Study. Your contribution will help shape the future of nursing and midwifery and is vital to the future workforce planning and choices available to nurses and midwives.
If you would like more information about, or register to participate in, the Graduate e-cohort Study, visit the website. You can also contact the Project Manager: Susan Kellett at s.kellett@uq.edu.au.
