About the Northern WIL Hub

The Northern WIL Hub is a collaborative partnership between Coast Mountain College (CMTN) and the College of New Caledonia (CNC). The project aims to generate and grow student/institution/community/employer connections to foster and sustain quality work-integrated learning opportunities in the vast northern region the two colleges serve.

What is WIL?

Work-Integrated Learning (WIL) is when students get to combine their academic studies with real-life work experience. This means they get to work with a company or organization, alongside professionals, while they study.

Work-integrated learning is a model and process of curricular experiential education which formally and intentionally integrates a student’s academic studies within a workplace or practice setting. WIL experiences include an engaged partnership of at least 3 stakeholders: an academic institution, a host organization and a student.

WIL can occur at the course or program level and includes the development of learning outcomes related to employability, personal agency and life-long learning.
