Students often seek more than just knowledge—they also crave confidence. The kind of confidence that can propel them successfully into the real world of work. For graduate students, that’s where the centralized work-integrated learning (WIL) pilot course comes in. In the course, theoretical concepts meet practical application to foster both skills and self-assurance.

Work-Learn Institute study points to increase in students’ teamwork, critical thinking after taking part in the program.

The Centre for WIL supports multiple pathways for students to explore work-integrated learning (WIL) experiences, beyond co-op. Recently, this innovation included collaborating with industry partners to redevelop an existing course while ensuring a quality WIL approach.

Leaning on co-op students to support their peers is a structural pillar of the Centre for Work-Integrated Learning’s (WIL) approach to their courses and programs. With more than 70 co-op students employed every year, the multidisciplinary group is vital to providing close support to students and assisting staff.
