Work-Integrated learning is a form of curricular experiential education that formally integrates a student's academic studies with quality experiences within a workplace or practice setting. WIL experiences include an engaged partnership of at least: an academic institution, a host organization, and a student.

The Traditional models of work integrated learning are the following:
•    Applied Research Projects
•    Apprenticeship
•    Co-operative Education (co-op alternating and co-op internship models)
•    Entrepreneurship
•    Field Placement 
•    Internships
•    Mandatory Professional Practicum/Clinical Placement
•    Service Learning
•    Work Experience
To learn more about the nine types of WIL and which would be best for your curriculum and students we encourage you to visit the CEWIL Resource Hub. 

The team at Careers Hub is excited to discuss incorporating and implementing WIL with the on-going roll out of Careers Hub. Connect with one of our Careers Hub Coordinators by emailing careershub@okanagan.bc.ca.
