MyWIL - Work-Integrated Learning at Waikato
At the University of Waikato we are committed to preparing our graduates to be ready for the workforce. That’s why all our undergraduate degrees (and an increasing number of postgraduate qualifications) include a compulsory work-integrated learning paper.
Work-integrated learning (WIL) papers create a link between academic learning and the practical applications of this learning in the workplace through a work placement, practicum, or a work-related project. The options available to you will depend on the degree you’re completing. Your best first step is to speak to the WIL Coordinator in your area of study.
Whichever option you complete, a WIL paper will allow you to develop and apply essential professional skills that will prepare you for the workforce, and have the opportunity to demonstrate your graduate knowledge to employers.
