‘Innovative WIL Models: Features, Enablers and Challenges ‘
The emerging environment facing Australian is characterised by the arrival of disruptive technologies and global economic transformation with innovation as an economic driver. In this landscape graduates need to be highly adaptable, resilient and prepared to undertake and navigate range of diverse jobs over their careers.
Research shows that work-integrated-learning (WIL) has a positive impact on enhancing student work readiness but this stronger focus on WIL to enhance employability has resulted in increased competition for WIL and highlighted the range of barriers to traditional WIL models. Small to medium enterprises (SMEs) make up over 95 per cent of employing businesses in Australia meaning they must be central in strategies to increase the scope and scale of student participation in WIL.
This presentation will overview the findings of recent Australian Technology Network ( ATN ) project which identified innovative emerging models of WIL that overcome constraints to engagement by industry and outline their features, challenges and enablers.
