Work-related learning in higher education

This paper is intended for those in higher education in the United Kingdom who are involved in the planning and provision of the formal curriculum and the co-curriculum (such as through careers advice and guidance). The paper begins by defining work-related learning, and after comparing it with work-based learning, provides the rationale for incorporating work-related learning in the higher education academic curriculum before discussing examples of what that work-related curriculum might contain. The rationale for providing work-related learning is not related just to the future employment needs of graduates, significant as these needs are, but also to wider academic and lifelong learning.
