ASSC Work Integrated Learning

Work Integrated Learning (WIL)

The challenge of finding a job is something that all students face following graduation. Employers value students with pre-existing workplace experience, and those who can readily translate what they learnt at university to the professional world are far more attractive to employers.

We strongly recommend students consider undertaking a WIL subject during their course to gain career-ready experience, make valuable industry connections, and gain insight into the types of opportunities available after they graduate.

Eligibility criteria apply to enrolment into WIL subjects.

In this video, Verushka and George speak to four ASSC College students about what they gained from their work based learning subjects:

Core placement subjects

The College of Arts, Social Sciences and Commerce (ASSC) Placement Operations team organises professional experience placements for education students who have mandatory placement components in their course. The placements  provide the opportunity for you to work in a supportive educational setting, integrating theory with practice, and developing the skills and experience you will need as a teacher once you have graduated.

See Education placements for details of those placement subjects.
