WBL and WIL

Work-based learning

Work-based learning is learning that occurs in a work environment, through participation in work practice and process, and is integral to vocational education and training.

Work-integrated learning

Work-integrated learning at university is learning that comprises a range of programs and activities in which the theory of the learning is intentionally integrated with the practice of work through specifically designed curriculum, pedagogic practices and student engagement.

The two concepts in the two education sectors have similarities and differences, but irrespective of the sector, integrating the world of work into education and training is becoming increasingly popular.

  • Both work-based and work-integrated learning require the involvement of employers and industry, and both sectors face challenges engaging with employers.
  • The keys to successful engagement in either approach include clear information, ongoing communication, flexibility with approaches, committed and skilled teachers who support
  • students, engaged students, the involvement of intermediary organisations to organise and facilitate activities, and the commitment of business and education leaders to drive work-based learning and work-integrated learning in their communities and companies
