    莫纳什大学研究人员招募参与者参与有关国际毕业生就业能力的研究项目

    Monash University researchers are currently seeking participants in a research project on international graduate employability.

    This study, which focuses on Chinese and Vietnamese graduates who have completed Australian Master’s and/or PhD degrees, aims to understand their challenges and how they respond to them to navigate the Australian labour market in their short-term and long-term career development strategies.

    Your participation in this project could inspire meaningful changes in the field, considering the improvement of international graduates’ policies and employability trajectories in Australia.

    Please participate in the research if:

    1. You are Vietnamese or Chinese, graduated Master/PhD/higher levels from an Australian university;
    2. You are living inside or outside Australia;
    3. Work experience in the Australian labour market after graduation: at least 3 months on part-time, full-time, casual or seasonal contracts or starting up your business in your home country or Australia.

    Participants will be offered a gift voucher valued at AUD$25 if they complete a survey linked below and AUD$50 for the individual interview. The survey will take around 15 minutes to complete. The individual interview takes 30-45 minutes and will be held online (e.g., Google Meet, Zoom, Zalo, Viber, Skype) or onsite at your convenience.

    Please feel free to forward this to your friends and colleagues interested in participating in this research, which will remain confidential. Link to the Survey: https://monash.az1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_baxGsVSsOFGhL4W

    Welcome to contribute to research that ensures climate policies and public programs better reflect the experiences of Chinese communities in Australia. The research is being conducted by the Multicultural Leadership Initiative (MLI).

    In 2022, MLI conducted Australia’s largest-ever multicultural climate survey, hearing from over 3,000 multicultural Australians about their perspectives on climate change. Now, MLI is looking to hear more from those who identify as Chinese, have Chinese heritage, or have familial ties to Chinese language and culture.

    How you can help:
    ✅ Complete a short 10-minute online anonymous survey: https://www.multiculturalleadership.org/survey
    ✅ Share your perspective on climate change and its impacts
    ✅ Get a chance to win 1 of 3 $200 VISA vouchers

    Your insights will play a critical role in shaping more inclusive and responsive climate solutions that reflect the needs of Chinese communities.

    Who is MLI?
    MLI is an international, non-profit organisation dedicated to building a climate movement that reflects the diversity of humanity. We support multicultural climate leadership, host community events, conduct research, and advocate for inclusive climate solutions.

    Your privacy matters.
    All responses will remain anonymous, and no personal information will be published.
