Legacy Co-Curricular Record Data

Work-Integrated Learning (WIL)

Work-Integrated Learning (WIL) encompasses both curricular and co-curricular opportunities in which students apply their academic knowledge in practical settings. Traditionally, WIL includes for-credit experiences such as internships, field placements, and co-op work terms. However, ɬÀï·¬'s SER also recognizes non-credit (co-curricular) opportunities where students collaborate with various industry partners—including for-profit, government, and non-profit organizations—on practical projects.

These non-credit WIL experiences vary widely, from micro experiential placements to music students' participation in summer performance festivals. These opportunities provide valuable hands-on experience and professional development, even though they are generally unpaid.

WIL experiences involve partnerships between academic institutions, host organizations, and students, focusing on employability, agency, knowledge and skill mobility, and lifelong learning.
