On-Demand Webinar: Creating Job-Ready Health Graduates through Work-Integrated Learning Experiences

The complexity of delivering modern health care accompanied by staff shortages across many health industries is placing increasing emphasis on the need for graduates to be work-ready. In response to this, the way that work-integrated learning is delivered has also shifted in many disciplines to be more focused on producing graduates who have broad and transferable skills in addition to discipline-specific skills and knowledge. New work-integrated learning models that vary from the traditional structure, supervision models and student roles are routinely being used in rural Australia. This presentation will explore different work-integrated learning approaches used by a team of health academics and the benefits of these approaches for students, universities, and host organisations. The presentation will particularly focus on the contribution of these models to creating work-ready graduates and an approach to quality assurance when designing, delivering, and evaluating these experiences.
