• Curricular programs for WIL student preparation.
• Quality Frameworks in WIL preparatory curriculum, including the:
– primary goals of the program, learning outcomes, and topics/ content in the curriculum;
– assessments and evaluations integral to the curriculum; and
– learning and teaching models and methods.
The project reports on data collected from participating institutions regarding:
• The alignment of co-op program learning outcomes with the CEWIL national accreditation and quality standards.
• Institutionally identified needs for expanding WIL preparatory curriculum to include such content as inclusivity, workplace readiness, and needs of equity-deserving students.
• Institutional perspectives about developing common, standard, and generic WIL preparatory resources that may be adapted and customized by each institution and the specific resources that would be of most use.
