Work Integrated Learning

Students learn best through experience, and our office has created several Work-Integrated Learning programs to bring students and external partners together. Our staff develops opportunities for businesses, community organizations, and government agencies to work with talented students looking to gain valuable work experience.

Work-Integrated Learning programs link university students to a workplace related to their field of study. Its aim is to combine academic learning with the practice of work and reinforces their learning outcomes through practical application that are relevant to industry or community partners’ needs.
