# Developing selection criteria for Turing RSE/RSD courses

- Clear and fair criteria
- Aims and objectives (feedback learning aims to community)
- Signpost opportunities to learn about Turing REG roles as opposed to training course
- Lottery 50%
- Enable enrichment students
- maybe reserve some places? 50% for Turing people
- put other 50% back in pool for lottery
- open registration earlier?
- Worth capping number of applicants?
- not a good idea in this case
- Questions to ensure engagement
- Initial multiple choice questions/eligibility
- Collaboration examples
- Why are people not engaging?
- Initial filtering
- maybe a programming test? is this an additional barrier
- Cannot select on protected characteristics:
- age, disability, gender reassignment, marriage and civil partnership, pregnancy and maternity, race, religion or belief, sex, and sexual orientation
- might be legal to consider positive action for disability (unlikely we have this information)
- can possibly use location (want national reach)
- decide with Skills Working Group
- can use discipline
