About Work Integrated Learning
What "WIL" you do with your degree?
Work Integrated Learning (WIL) is responsible for helping you answer this question through 'learning by doing'. We help students become engaged in their education and career planning through career building opportunities. You will probably recognize our flagship program - Co-operative Education:
Co-operative Education (Co-op)
Do you feel prepared for life after graduation? Join Co-op to alternate between paid work semesters and study semesters, graduating with contacts, marketable skills and a year of experience in your field. Apply to Co-op as early as possible in your degree, and two semesters before your first intended work semester. Be sure to apply to Co-op before you reach 90 credit hours.
Fully paid, degree-related work experience
Apply as early as 1st year
Work Locally + Abroad
