Work Integrated Learning (WIL)

In today’s working environment employers need graduates that can become high performing members of their organisations quickly and WIL provides the opportunity for students to gain a better understanding of their relevant discipline in a workplace setting. It also offers employers graduates who are more likely to be ‘work ready’.
