The Routledge International Handbook of Work-Integrated Learning

The Routledge International Handbook of Work-Integrated Learning, third edition, provides an extensive overview of work-integrated learning (WIL) for practitioners and educators, and contains practical insights on how to improve everyday application of WIL.

Work-integrated learning is a diverse and complex subject, with much debate around what constitutes good practice. In this Handbook, well-established international WIL scholars provide an overview of the history and educational theories related to WIL, an extensive compilation of relevant literature related to the application of WIL, and examples of good practice. The third edition has been substantively revised and restructured, presenting 11 different models of WIL along with supporting literature and examples, and discusses developing and managing WIL within a qualification and across the institution. The Handbook also presents evidence-based benefits for stakeholders and explores topics such as stakeholder engagement, risk management, and the role of national and international associations. This Handbook presents discussion on defining the practice of WIL and explores the current literature on theoretical thinking of WIL, wellbeing, equity and inclusion, assessment, and quality indicators.

Bringing together scholars and specialists from around the world, this handbook is essential reading for practitioners, educators, researchers, higher education leaders, and policy makers.
