Indigenous Student Co-op Survey

ABOUT THE SURVEY

The “Indigeneous Student Co-op" survey was created as part of a larger Career Development Centre (CDC) project entitled "A Seat at the Table: Expanding Co-op WIL Opportunities for Underrepresented Students and Programs" and will be distributed by KPU's Office of Planning and Accountability (OPA) in cooperation with Indigenous Services for Students and the CDC.

The purpose of this survey is to assist the Career Development Centre to better serve Indigenous students by identifying challenges to their participation in Co-operative Education and developing strategies that would allow Indigenous students to more fully engage and excel in KPU’s Co-op program.

**Knowledge about KPU’s Co-operative Education program is not required in order to participate in this survey.**

The survey's targeted population are those KPU students who self-identify as Indigenous.

SURVEY PROCESS

When the survey is launched, it will be sent directly to all registered, self-identified Indigenous students. The survey should take between 5 and 15 minutes depending on the depth of participants' responses. Students who are Indigenous, but who have not formally self-identified as Indigenous with KPU, and wish to participate in the survey can reach out to the Office of Planning and Accountability (OPA) at opa@kpu.ca for assistance.

GIFT CARD COMPONENT

The first 50 respondents will be awarded a guaranteed $40.00 Real Canadian Superstore e-gift card. In adherence to KPU’s auditing requirements, students will be required to provide their student number and email address, in a separate survey, in order to claim their e-gift card.

CONFIDENTIALITY

All responses to the survey and all information collected, for the purposes of administering this survey, will remain strictly confidential and securely stored by the Office of Planning and Accountability (OPA) per S.22 of the Freedom of Information Protection of Privacy Act.

Any questions or concerns about the survey can be directed to the Office of Planning and Accountability at opa@kpu.ca.

Thank you for your interest and participation. We appreciate your invaluable feedback as we work cooperatively and collaboratively toward the diversification of KPU’s Co-op program.
