The demand for work-ready graduates, who are familiar with organizational practices in the workplace is increasing, and so the need for greater work integrated learning (WIL) is a growing concern for the education sector. With the globalization of higher education and the cultural and linguistic challenges this brings, WIL has become a core strategic issue for many organizations. Examining WIL as a process of integration between workplaces, higher education institutions, government, business and industry, this book includes:
- Strategies for managing work integrated learning experiences
- The what, when, where, why and who of WIL across professions
- Advice on building relationships between higher education and the workplace
- Guidance on preparing learners effectively for work
- Practical case studies from firsthand experience
- Direct information and instruction on the use of WIL
