Student Success

Description

Benefit of this resource and how to make the best use of it

The WILLOW project was a collaboration between the UCC School of Law and university-wide Career Services, in partnership with postgraduate law students and programme directors. The focus of the project was promoting work-integrated learning opportunities and careers information for this cohort of students. The case study explains the activities undertaken, and the development of an online careers portal on Canvas and SharePoint. It also provides some reflections on key lessons learned and future action points based on the feedback from participating students and academic staff. These insights can provide information and guidance to academics and professional servcies staff working in the field of postgraduate legal education or developing work-integrated learning activities.
