Welcome to teaching course-level WIL
This resource hub is designed to help instructors at the University of À¶Ý®ÊÓƵ explore and enhance work-integrated learning (WIL) opportunities in their courses.
At the Centre for WIL, we provide guidance and support for creating impactful learning experiences that connect academic theory with real-world practice through employer and community partnerships. Whether you’re new to WIL, looking to refine existing course offerings or completing a full course redesign, we’re here to assist you in bringing WIL into your classroom.
Start building
The Centre for WIL offers a suite of customizable templates and ready-made resources designed to enhance student engagement and success in WIL courses.
These resources provide structured guidance for project management, reflection, career development and workplace navigation, equipping students with essential skills for their professional growth. Faculty and administrators can seamlessly integrate these tools into their curriculum to foster meaningful student learning experiences, ensuring alignment with industry expectations and academic goals. By leveraging these templates, institutions can support students in developing practical competencies that will serve them well in both academic and professional contexts.
