ABOUT NSTEP
The National Student Engagement Programme (NStEP) was launched in
**Apply on the website** to develop a national vision for enhancing
and embedding student engagement within higher education. NStEP is a
joint initiative of the Union of Students of Ireland (USI), the Higher
Education Authority (HEA), and Quality and Qualifications Ireland
(QQI).NStEP develops and supports student engagement in Irish higher
education institutions. Student engagement is underpinned by the
principle of ?student as partner? with involvement in NStEP
requiring a partnership between staff in higher education institutions
(HEIs) and student representatives.
To date, this national programme has brought together staff and
students within their own contexts, with the aim of fostering a
culture of meaningful engagement. NStEP provides space for
collaboration and capacity building, for sharing ideas, and for
creating best practice to elevate the student voice and to implement
student/staff partnerships.
The value and impact of NStEP has been evident through institutional
engagement with CINNTE institutional reviews, developing strategic
plans, and evolving partnership at different levels of institutional
decision making.
The national partnership of the HEA, QQI, and the USI aims to champion
student partnership at the strategic level and embed meaningful
student engagement in future sectoral developments._ _NStEP has given
a platform for partnership between staff and students and for
collaborations between institutions, students? unions and national
agencies to enhance the student experience. Key aspects of the
programme include:
* Student training and leadership development opportunities
* National projects to increase student engagement practice
* Supporting higher education institutions to improve student
partnership
* Supporting students? union in their student engagement work
* Ensuring student engagement is recognised in national policy
* Developing networks of students and staff interested in student
engagement
* Providing professional development opportunities for staff
The current strategy builds upon the work carried out since **Apply on
the website**, pushing the boundaries of our understanding of student
partnership, and ensuring impact is both achieved and communicated.
The NStEP Steering Committee is now seeking a programme manager to
action this strategy and to ensure the Programme continues to develop
and enhance a partnership approach to student engagement across Irish
higher education.
The successful applicant will report to the NStEP Steering Committee
(the USI, the HEA, and QQI). The Programme Manager will work to drive
and implement the work of NStEP and oversee the successful execution
of the day-to-day work of the Programme, actively supported by each of
the partner organisations. The work of the Programme Manager will be
