  • Leveraging Work-Integrated Learning Through On- Campus Employment: a University-Wide Approach
    Special Issue: Work Integrated Learning - Investing in the Future. Papers from the Australian Collaborative Education Network Annual Conference 2012 Leveraging work-integrated learning through on- campus employment: A university-wide approach GAON MITCHELL1 Victoria University, Melbourne, Australia JUDIE KAY RMIT University, Melbourne, Australia At Victoria University, Melbourne, Australia, the majority of students engage in paid employment alongside their studies; and, every student has the opportunity to engage with work-integrated learning as a key component of their academic course. This paper explores an innovative structured approach the university has initiated to align these two activities: the Students as Staff Program. The 2011 Students as Staff evaluation found that 20 per cent of respondents received academic credit for their on-campus employment and more indicated their roles were related to their discipline of study. Additionally, respondents reported feeling significantly engaged with the university and that work on campus had contributed to developing their graduate capabilities. These evaluation results indicate that on-campus employment through a structured program enhances student learning outcomes. This paper discusses key ways in which tertiary institutions can expand their capacity to support and enhance student learning and develop graduate capabilities through on-campus paid work opportunities. (Asia-Pacific Journal of Cooperative Education, 2013 14(3), 185- 193) Keywords: Work-integrated learning, Graduate capabilities, Part-time work, On-campus employment The employment of students on campus at Australian universities is not a new phenomenon, and indeed has been occurring for as long as universities have existed. Students working on campus results in a unique relationship between the student and the institution.
