Work Integrated Learning (WIL)
Importance of WIL
Often the missing link between an employers’ ‘wish list’ and a student, is a track record in a variety of workplace experiences. WIL subjects addresses this link by enabling students to see the relevance of their course content applied to real-world situations. Not only do these work related experience increase your employability – they can also clarify your career intentions.
What is WIL?
Work integrated Learning is an umbrella term for a range of approaches and strategies that integrate theory with the practice of work within a purposefully designed curriculum. Work-integrated learning is learning that focuses specifically on experience (or simulated experience) of the workplace. It contributes to career development learning, but also might contribute to academic or subject based curricular.
Examples include internships, professional practice, practicums, teaching and clinical placements, apprenticeships, field work, community based learning, work/job shadowing, vacation work and enterprise projects.
