WORK BASED LEARNING

Authentic learning experience can be delivered through work-based learning (WBL) as students undergo real-life work experience. WBL gives students the opportunity to explore what they have learned in the classroom within a real-world context. 

Courses are designed and developed in partnership with employers/companies, students and other stakeholders (where appropriate) and contain learning outcomes that are relevant to work objectives. Progress of the learning is monitored by both the industry supervisor and academic advisor.  Students apply and integrate areas of subject and professional knowledge, skills and behaviours to enable them to meet course learning outcomes. There are several definitions available: 

learning through work, learning for work and learning at work. Implementation can range from internships to job shadowing, Implementation can range from internships to job shadowing, simulations or mentorship programs. Not only it provides students with the opportunity to put theory into practice with real-life work experiences and hands-on learners, but it also gives students some much-needed direction, and it gets them thinking about what they want to do after graduation.
