Work Integrated Learning in the UK: an overview

Norman Jackson, University of Surrey Centre for Excellence in Professional Training and Education

This working paper was prepared as background for a workshop at the WACE Conference held at the University of Westminster in November 2006[1]. It provides an overview of approaches to Work Integrated Learning (WIL) in the UK. Readers are invited to add their own interpretations, definitions, descriptions of approaches and examples of work integrated learning[2]. The paper will be continually updated as better and more informed representations are developed.
