Widening Participation

The CUC is focused on supporting equity students within regional communities who have traditionally been excluded from higher education to demonstrate that further education is a tangible and attainable local pathway. To do this, the CUC Network facilitates community-led schools outreach programs in over 100 regional schools, reaching 2,500 students in collaboration with 19 university partners. These programs are tailored to the fabric of the local community, and reflect the unique opportunities and nuance that vary across each CUC community.
