What are the benefits of providing work-integrated learning (WIL) opportunities?

Our partners play an important role in experiential learning at George Brown. Whether it’s through offering work opportunities or mentorship and advice, they help prepare our graduates. By partnering with George Brown and our students, you will: 

  • Strengthen and empower your community at large through collaborative projects with students  
  • Vet students for potential work opportunities upon graduation 
  • Gain fresh perspectives and ideas from current students 
  • Play a role in shaping the skills and knowledge of future grads
