Connect with our students

Our Work Integrated Learning (WIL) program connects Business and Law students with industry and community partners hosting internships. The WIL program also coordinates real world projects across all discipline areas. During a project, students collaborate in teams to address a current challenge or opportunity for a partner and deliver recommendations. An internship or project is connected to a unit for academic credit, where students complete relevant learning activities and assessments.

The WIL program provides industry and community partners with:

  • New thinking and insights from students.
  • Connections to strong talent as potential future employees.
  • Opportunity to contribute to a professional discipline area, through guiding and mentoring emerging professionals.
