Work-integrated learning (WIL) has been suggested as a potentially beneficial addition to modern doctoral education. However, there is little research outlining the specificities of WIL aimed at PhD students. This paper explores the range of WIL opportunities available to PhD students through a review of secondary data. The findings indicate that…

Innovation to support work-integrated learning (WIL) delivery in Australian higher education and other countries is becoming increasingly important due to the complexities associated with integrating work and learning in this context. Exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic, complexities include the changing nature of work and challenges related to…

Work-integrated learning (WIL) plays a crucial role in introducing students to work environments to enhance employability skills and career readiness. These opportunities are made possible through university-workplace partnerships. Despite the numerous benefits associated with such partnerships, effective initiation and management of partnerships…

The work-integrated learning (WIL) environment can precipitate additional mental and psychological stress, with possible deleterious effects for health science students and patients. The dearth of information for clinical technology students who are also affected by the demands of academic learning tasks and the clinical environment, warrants an…

Work-based learning (WBL) is used interchangeably with other concepts such as work-related learning (WRL) and workplace learning (WPL). Work-integrated learning (WIL) considers WBL a subset within WIL. Some scholars and practitioners argue that WBL as a mode of learning is pedagogically incompatible with WRL, WPL, and WIL. WBL and WIL…

The COVID-19 pandemic disrupted the continuity to Technical Vocational Education and Training (TVET) activities and work-integrated learning (WIL) assessments, thereby negatively affecting the progression of studies for many learners. Several institutions revisited their assessment methods and tools for WIL during such pandemics. This study…

Work-integrated learning experiences of LGBTQIA+ students are rarely considered, with no specific consideration of paramedic students in this context. Students' perceptions of WIL and the challenges associated with navigating the off-campus clinical setting have highlighted the need for a sense of belongingness, safety and security, and a healthy…

Work-integrated learning (WIL) is crucial for the development of employability skills and has an influence on employment outcomes. Given the significance of WIL pedagogies for graduate preparedness and transitions into work, concerns have been raised on the barriers to access and participation in WIL for some cohorts of learners. Equity and…

Cooperative education and principles associated with learning ecosystems appear throughout the literature. However, the application of cooperative education and learning ecosystems to work-integrated learning has not been fully examined. Furthermore, the applicability of learning ecosystems within work-integrated learning to specific professional…

Despite significant recent changes to the doctoral training environment, particularly provision of employability skills during candidature, there is a paucity of research investigating best practice in this area. This paper describes a case study in how various pedagogical theories, curriculum co-creation, lifelong learner, adult learning,…

Experiential learning is increasingly being recognized as the preferred teaching method in entrepreneurship education, with particular emphasis on students' 'real-world' experience. This paper critically examines the adequacy of using work-integrated learning (WIL) pedagogy for the purpose of entrepreneurship education. A novel approach is…

Work-integrated learning (WIL) is central to the delivery of high quality student learning that provides students with the knowledge, skills, attitudes and professional networks for successful careers. In rural and regional Australia WIL placements can be particularly challenging to source due to limited clinical supervision capacity. This article…

This study investigated the impact of work-integrated learning (WIL) experiences for Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) lecturers on their industry expertise and teaching skills. WIL was introduced to address the inadequate work experience of TVET lecturers and improve their capacity to deliver quality teaching. The study used…

This position paper will examine the complexities of remote working, specifically as it impacts students on work integrated learning (WIL) placements such as internships. Current literature on the challenges of remote working and recent student reflections based on their experiences of pivoting from office space to completing their internship…

While the fields of work-integrated learning (WIL) and career development share common goals, WIL literature tends to focus on student employability more than students' ability to manage their careers. The Leading Edge program at a Canadian institution, the University of Victoria, brings together these two disciplines as it draws from theory and…
