What experiential learning at CapU means
Practical learning and work-integrated learning (WIL) can be used synonymously. They're opportunities for students to build their skills, and community partners to get student support.
Students often refer to these opportunities as practical experience, work experience or practical learning. If you're a member of the community, you'll talk to our WIL team about practical learning opportunities.
Practical learning (and WIL), makes up part of the broader concept of Experiential Learning at CapU: learning by doing, inside and outside the classroom.
