WORK-INTEGRATED LEARNING PROGRAM IN COLLEGES AND UNIVERSITIES – AN ANALYSIS
Journal Title: International Journal of Research in Social Sciences - Year 2011, Vol 1, Issue 1
Abstract
Work-integrated learning (WIL) programs are becoming popular with students, government, employers, and universities. A major benefit of a WIL program is the increased employability of students, and this matches well with the present trend whereby students expect a pay-off from their investment in education. Curriculum is one of the important products that universities offer to their stakeholders, but the curriculum has received less attention than might be expected. This paper discusses issues related to designing a WIL program for a post-graduate degree program. The importance of WIL programs in general is followed by discussion on how WIL, work and knowledge are related to each other. Issues relating to designing a successful WIL program are discussed by its faculty, academics and the employers as stakeholders in the program. The WIL program’s implications for the post-graduate curriculum are also discussed.
