UTAS Work Integrated Learning (WIL) Benchmarking Project

The WIL Benchmarking project at UTAS aligns with national and international trends in higher education towards developing benchmarking partnerships, identifying areas of good practice and areas for improvement in WIL.  Beginning with comparisons between the Faculty of Business, Corporate Internship Program and tertiary WIL business programs nationally, we anticipate identifying where, how and why we have been successful, and where, how and why improvements can be made. It is hoped lessons learnt from undertaking the benchmarking exercise, can be applied to other areas of WIL throughout UTAS and to tertiary education providers of WIL, nationally. One of the goals of the new UTAS Strategic Plan for Learning and Teaching (2012-2014) is to develop and maintain quality partnerships. One of the strategies to achieve this objective is to engage with local, national and international communities to build and maintain the relationships that optimise successful WIL.  It is anticipated that all participants in the UTAS WIL benchmarking project will benefit from the findings by identifying areas of good practice and areas for improvement within their respective WIL programs.
