Summary: The purpose of this research was to explore various types of work in which PSE students participate, and understand their benefits and impact from a student perspective. Participation rates in various types of work (both structured work-integrated learning (WIL) employment and non-WIL employment) were explored, as were student reported outcomes such as career/job readiness, application of school knowledge to job practice and learning of workplace skills. A key goal of the research was to describe not just the absolute benefits of WIL opportunities, but also its value-added over other forms of work.
