Project Details
A one-year project to examine the legacy impact of the Work-Integrated Learning (WIL) programme first as a student and later as a WIL supervisor. A collaboration of Massey University, Auckland University of Technology, University of Waikato and New Zealand Council for Educational Research (NZCER).
Aims:
The main aims of the project were to:
- explore alumni perspective on whether their own student WIL experience has impacted on their workplace supervisor role
- identify how the WIL experience has added value from the perspective of graduates
- develop a resource to help build capability for workplace supervisors and for future students.
Methodology:
The project used a narrative story-based approach involving:
- interviews with graduates from WIL programmes who have also supervised WIL students
- development of case study narratives and key themes derived from data analysis.
