Education – Work Integrated Learning – Engineering Industry Placements 2018

La Trobe University is committed to providing
graduates with cutting edge skills to become
leaders in the Engineering Profession. La Trobe’s
Future Ready Strategy aims to prepare students
for industry through Work Integrated Learning
programs, industry partnerships and engaging La
Trobe’s Essentials: Global Citizenship, Innovation

Work Integrated Learning (WIL) is the
placement of students into industry to learn to
use the skills and knowledge they have gained on
campus, in real work situations. WIL is carried out
by students in their last year of study for the
Bachelor of Engineering (Honours), a
professional qualification accredited by Engineers
Australia. WIL requires the student to carry out
engineering work as if employed by the
company for six months. The student’s work is
expected to be a contribution to productivity or
the company’s strategic goals.
