PART A: WIL INFORMATION

1. INTRODUCTION

Work Integrated Learning is a mode of learning that integrates the theoretical concepts of classroom activities
with Industry/ Community experience. Undergraduate courses at Richfield Graduate Institute of Technology
(RGIT) will progressively provide opportunities for students to undertake the form of Work Integrated Learning
(WIL) that is appropriate and relevant to their programme. Co-operative Education, as well as other Work
Experience Programmes, falls under the definition of Work Integrated Learning.

2. DEFINITION OF WORK INTEGRATED LEARNING

Work Integrated Learning (WIL) is defined as the component of a learning programme that focuses on the
application of learning in an authentic learning workplace based context under supervision. It addresses specific
competencies identified for the acquisition of a qualification, enabling the development of skills that makes the
student employable. Work Integrated Learning describes an approach to carrier focussed education that includes
classroom based and workplace based form of learning that are appropriate for the professional qualification.

3. PURPOSE OF WORK INTEGRATED LEARNING

Work Integrated Learning (WIL) refers to the real life or simulated work experience offered to you the student as
part of your fulfilment of your programme of study towards the Higher Certificate in Information Technology.
Students will not be allowed to graduate without successfully passing their Work Integrated Learning module.

The purpose of Work Integrated Learning is to:

• Develop real knowledge on the job training experiences and to ensure that each student is aware of the
actual work environment and activities involved in their chosen discipline.
• Enable students to utilise Work Integrated Learning to supplement the theoretical knowledge.
• Promote students with personal and professional development through Work Integrated Learning.
• Provide students with an opportunity for a gradual introduction into the work place.
• To allow for employer/student negotiated learning

4. OBJECTIVES OF WORK INTEGRATED LEARNING

The student needs to achieve the following objectives with regards to Work Integrated Learning (WIL):

 Ability to use and navigate end-user applications such as word processors, spreadsheets, databases and
presentations in an integrated business information technology environment.
 Ability to match software and hardware components to their appropriate use in application and problem-
solving scenarios.

5. GUIDELINES / PROCEDURES FOR WORK INTEGRATED LEARNING (WIL):

5.1 Aims of WIL

• To expose students to the real world of the workplace while still studying
• To assist students to gain general work experience in a professional work environment
• To help students develop a range of valuable generic skills
• To make the transition from students to employee easier
• To apply and practice, in an organisation, many of the concepts, theories and techniques studied
in your qualification;
• To develop your graduate capabilities such as effective oral and written communication,
teamwork, planning and organising, thinking creatively, problem solving and life-long learning
• To gain experiences that you the student can bring back into the classroom for discussion and
analysis
• To advance your general awareness of business practice as a basis for final year studies and
ongoing career aspirations.

More specifically students are expected to:

• Identify the relationships between various course disciplines and practical applications;
• Acquire a knowledge of the organisation / industry in which they are working;
• Participate in the culture of the organisation
• Define their individual role/s in the organisation and wider business community;
• Recognise the role of ethics in business
• Reflect on their workplace performance

5.2 Duration of Work Integrated Learning

A student will be placed at a suitable and appropriate employer (training institution) for a period of 150
hours (minimum 19 working days).

5.3 Orientation of the Work Integrated Learning Programme

An orientation programme is useful for helping students understand the culture of the workplace, and to
avoid potential conflict and complaints. For example, the organisation/company might have a dress code or
might discourage the use of private telephone calls, use of email or surfing the internet. There might be
conventions for telephone message taking or memo-writing. There are usually time-keeping arrangements
which need to be strictly adhered to and so on. Students need to know what the ‘rules’ are and why these
rules might be important for the functioning of the organisation/company.

The Work Integrated Learning Co-ordinator and Lectures will orientate the student on the following:
• The importance of successfully completing the WIL Module
• Meeting programme specific outcomes
• The link between WIL and theory
• How WIL is preparing you the student for placement in an actual job environment
• Inform the student about the workplace ‘rules’
• Introduce the student to the workplace supervisor
• Inform the student that the supervisor/mentor will provide support and assistance

 5.4 Letters of Placement to the Student and Parent
The student and the parent of the student are given letters stipulating the importance of WIL for completion
of one’s qualification. It gives the student an indication of what is expected of him/her. The WIL coordinator
needs to provide additional orientation and mentoring information regarding the student’s roles and
responsibilities during the placement period. A Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) is signed with
employers who take on students for a WIL programme. RGIT provides the student with a letter of placement
indicating the employer and period of WIL.
5.5 WIL Placements
Work Integrated Learning placements occur through competition, using a process of job description,
matching of skills, aptitudes and interests as well as interviews between employers and student. Placements
found by students must be accepted as suitable by WIL co-coordinators of RGI in order to qualify as WIL. The
student, Institution and WIL coordinators are responsible for finding WIL placement for students. The student
must complete Work Integrated Learning at an accredited employer.

5.6 Employer Partnership

The Institution, the student and the employer are partners in the WIL programme and, as such, have to co-
operate very closely in the planning, organisation and control of the system. RGI will provide the student
with a letter of placement indicating the employer and period of WIL.

The intention is for the Campus Manager/Cluster Directors to utilise this framework in order to develop
suitable relations with industry professionals/companies, which respond to the needs of students seeking
WIL. The framework will enable the Institution to develop and approve a broader and responsive range of
WIL programmes through a, less prescriptive ‘light-touch’ process, whilst maintaining rigorous quality
procedures.

5.7 Aspects in which students should receive Training

The student will receive training as per the outcomes specified below. However, the student will not be
limited to these outcomes:
• Ability to apply end-user applications such as word processing, spread sheets, databases and
presentations in a business information technology environment.
• Demonstrate an ability to select and apply the use of software and hardware components to its
full potential by understanding technical operations of these components.
• Apply problem solving techniques in a technical environment.
• Identify, evaluate and manage a project plan in an integrated business information technology
environment.
• Ability to utilise the required technical skills to efficiently implement the designed solutions in a
distributed information technology environment concerned with data communication, networks
