Working Partners: Workplace-Based Learning Partnership Model

This webpage, provided by Internet Scout Research Group, is part of the Working Partners Toolkit. This toolkit, which includes Partnership Models, Case Studies, and Resources and Data; was designed to help educators strengthen their relationship with industry. Eight partnership models used by the ATE community to incorporate industry expertise into higher education were identified by the Working Partners team using a mixed methods approach.

This Workplace-Based Learning Partnership Model is defined as "Industry partner provides on-site opportunity for student applied learning, paid or unpaid, frequently with employment potential, often integrated with coursework." The model is presented in the following sections: Implementation Strategies, Reported Impacts, and Reported Challenges.

Also included in the webpage is a description of the Workplace-Based Learning Case Study. The other partnership models and additional Toolkit resources are available to view separately.
