Engaging La Trobe University International Students – Resources for Students and Industry Partners to facilitate success in Work Integrated Learning programs.

Improving the quality of the WIL experience for international students and industry partners hosting international students
Potential for engagement of, and support for, more industry partners taking international students in WIL programs which strengthens LTU position as a Partner of Choice.
