The VetSet2Go Employability (Stakeholder Perceptions) Survey
31 October 2016
VetSet2Go (www.vetset2go.edu.au) is a project funded by the Australian Government Office of Learning and Teaching (OLT), and is a collaborative project involving researchers from seven veterinary schools from three countries (Australia, the United Kingdom, and the United States of America). The project aims to define the capabilities most important for employability and success in the veterinary profession, and create assessment tools and resources to build those capabilities.
For this study, the researchers’ aim is to investigate the perceptions of various stakeholder groups regarding the relative importance of those capabilities contributing to veterinary employability and success and satisfaction as a veterinarian. This survey is being sent to a broad range of veterinarians (employees and employers, veterinary nurses, practice managers, academics and policy makers) in Australia, New Zealand, the United Kingdom, and the United States, and aims to provide comprehensive feedback regarding the capabilities of a successful, employable veterinarian, from those who are directly involved in the profession. Other studies within the project will investigate the perspective of clients, the process of employing new graduate veterinarians, the transition to practice, and the role of resilience in contributing to success as a veterinarian.
