3. did those students gain entry into a business-related field at university, and
4. if those students are not at university, what they are doing now.

The pilot study will involve three past cohorts of the NIBS program from Queensland, Victoria, and New South Wales.

The Research Assistant will be responsible for a range of research activities across the project, including (but not limited to) coordinating research plans and activities, monitoring and evaluating research outcomes; ensuring projects/activities are delivered on time and within budget; engaging with research key stakeholders in conjunction with key members of the research team.
