E68: WIL-Power – Connecting classroom theory with hands-on, Work-Integrated Learning
2025-03-26
Students Cory, Adam, Lenae, and Maddie share all about their Work-Integrated Learning (WIL) experiences at Lethbridge Polytechnic.
No matter the program, classroom theory comes to life when students are paired with real-world scenarios – and the lessons are invaluable.
Students discuss favourite moments and key insights from their WIL experiences. They also exchange strategies for navigating challenges like imposter syndrome – sometimes it helps to don a "suit"!
