Work integrated learning toolkit

Thinking about taking on a work integrated learning (WIL) student.

Before a student commences

Ensure there is tangible and productive work a student can contribute to and learn from.
Notify UC of any licences or approvals required for the workplace, e.g. working with vulnerable people card, policy clearance, etc.
Student has been provided all necessary document, e.g. position description, terms and conditions, confidentiality agreement, dress codes, etc.
Student and employer have a clear agreement in regards to days and hours of work.
Is your workplace culturally safe for our First Nations students?

Thoroughly read the insurance confirmation letter that is provided by UC.
Student is booked in for workplace inductions and appropriate orientations.
Student is paired with a workplace mentor who can provide them support and appropriate supervision.
A work space and necessary tools have been organised.

During the workplace induction and orientation ensure the student is:

Provided with all health and safety policies, including:
- procedures for reporting accidents
- emergency and evacuation procedures
- a tour of the building and facilities.
Introduced to their supervisor to jointly review the student's learning agreement.
Regularly checked on to ensure they're fully contributing.
