Connecting Local Communities with Emerging Talent

The Interior & Northern Work Integrated Learning Coalition, a partnership between Thompson Rivers  University (TRU), the University of British Columbia Okanagan (UBCO), and University of Northern British Columbia (UNBC), aims to engage emerging student talent with employment opportunities that support the changing needs and development of small and medium sized organizations. Connecting with emerging talent allows employers to cost-effectively increase capacity within their organization, develop space to innovate and contribute to a future skilled workforce within the Interior and Northern regions of BC.      

What is work-integrated learning (WIL)?

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 (such as co-op work experience, internships, apprenticeships, and more).
