Work-Integrated Learning in the 21st century: Global perspectives
on the future, explores new questions about the state of work for
new university and college graduates in the context of
Work-Integrated Learning (WIL). As these 'Millennials' graduate,
they are entering a precarious labour market that is filled with
ambiguity and uncertainty, creating a great deal of anxiety for
those trying to develop skills for highly competitive jobs or jobs
that do not yet exist. In their pursuit of skill acquisition, many
are participating in WIL programs (e.g., cooperative education,
internships) which allow them to gain practical experience while
pursuing their education. With a focus on WIL, this book examines
issues involved in developing work ready graduates. Topics include
mental health and well-being - an urgent matter on many campuses;
remote working - an aspect of the information and social media age
that is becoming more prevalent as the precarity of work increases;
issues of diversity and discrimination; ethics and professionalism;
global citizenship and competency; and the role that higher
education institutions need to play to prepare students for the
challenges of economic shifts. These topics are timely and relevant
to the situations faced by new graduates and those who prepare them
for the world beyond school. The chapters provide a close
examination of the issues from a global perspective, particularly
as experiential education and work-integrated learning programs are
becoming more prevalent in higher education and viewed as essential
for preparing millennials for the 21st century competitive labour
market.
