Work-Integrated Learning

Work-Integrated Learning (WIL) is a form of curricular experiential education that formally integrates a student’s academic studies with quality experiences within a workplace or practice setting. WIL experiences include an engaged partnership of at least: an academic institution, a host organization, and a student.

WIL helps build rewarding partnerships between RRC Polytech and industry and community partners, who benefit from enthusiastic, skilled workers who are ready to contribute, while students gain practical work experience.
