Institutions seek to form effective partnerships with these workplaces and communities to sustain expanding agendas in the education of their students. Increasingly, institutions espouse the intent to produce work-literate and workready graduates who have been educated to be responsible, socially aware, actively contributing local and global citizens. It is important that institutions are aware that this intent has established a new enterprise for higher education which needs to be visible in their infrastructure, policies, internal processes and the ways they relate to their new partners.
Time spent in establishing and maintaining programmes constrained their engagement in research. In addition, it needs to be recognized that the task of work integrated learning programme coordination has often been an isolated responsibility within a department; a ‘short straw job’ that was learnt ‘on the job’ with little or no induction or mentoring and often a job for ‘the girls’ not the boys. Furthermore, there have been few opportunities for forging connections and sharing ‘wisdom of experience’ between coordinators in other disciplines with similar responsibilities.
Few instances can be found of institutions giving these agendas thorough attention. Even where this has occurred the challenges are not small and not attended to quickly. This development involves a major cultural shift. One institution attending to the above agendas is Victoria University, Australia, which is used here as a best practice case study to illustrate the whole of the cultural shift required in institutions. In 2006, Victoria University (VU) undertook to remake itself. It is a large, dual sector university, resulting from the merger of a technical and vocational education institution with a higher education institution.
