We are pleased to announce the release of a new edition of one of our most popular resources. First published in 2016, A Practical Guide for Work-integrated Learning has been revised and expanded and is now an even better collection of effective and inclusive practices to enhance the educational quality of structured work experiences offered through colleges and universities.
Featuring newly added content, a fully revamped design, new photos and increased attention on equity, diversity and inclusion (EDI), the new guide also features three prominent themes that underscore important aspects of quality WIL programming: Student-centred supports, sustainable WIL partnerships and program evaluation and development.
The guide is not a simple one-size-fits-all approach, rather it offers advice on improving the quality of WIL for all learners; strengthening relationships between employers, students and institutions; and moving towards meaningful recognition and integration of EDI into WIL programming.
