Work-Based Learning Experience and Good Practices
Downloads
Work Based Learning is a current trend at all levels of education. Today there is an increasing emphasis on university workplace learning programs. Disciplines which previously lacked work based education, benefit by engaging with industry partners for adequate preparation of both current and future work requirements. Students can get real-life work experiences through work-based learning programs. They canthen apply their technical and academic skills to enhance their employability. Work based learning is delivered as a combination of educational courses that integrate industry work experience with academic preparation. Work based education benefits all stakeholders: communities, workers, educators, employers and governments. Work Based Learning experiences from Malaysia, United States, Germany and Australia are investigated and enriched through a global perspective.
