Work Integrated Learning (WIL)

Work Integrated Learning (or WIL) is the most commonly recognised term for student learning that combines theoretical and practical learning experiences within a workplace environment.  Students from UOW are keen to see the relevance of their course content applied to real-world situations and WIL provides the opportunity to link their discipline to a business or profession.

Often the missing link between an employers’ ‘wish list’ and a student, is a track record in a variety of workplace experiences.

Work related experiences don’t just increase your employability – they can also clarify your career intentions. For some, it can even be a ‘try before you buy’ for both student and employer.

UOW’s new Graduate Careers and Employability Unit has developed a suite of workplace programs and credit bearing subjects to help students increase their employability, which all students can access (undergraduates, postgraduates, domestic, international).
