Where There's a WIL, There's a way to...Greater Employability???

from into the WILderness · host CEWIL Canada

It's the age old question...well maybe not "age-old" but it's been floating around for a while; does the number of work experiences and WIL opportunities lead to greater employability in students? This week I revisit the topic of competency development and my guest helps unpack some of his latest research in the attempt to answer that question. Is it an exact science? Does more WIL mean more job opportunities? Or is it deeper, more complex than that? Is it, perhaps, more deeply rooted in lifelong learning and the notion of quality over quantity?  Guest: Dave Drewery, Senior Research Associate, Work-Learn Institute, University of Waterloo, ON "Fallen Leaves" by Electric Wildlife
