Three compelling examples of work-based learning (work-integrated learning) experiences in higher education

Riipen highlights three examples of higher education institutions that utilize its platform to embed work-integrated learning opportunities. The UC Riverside extension integrates real-world business projects to address strict visa regulations for international students, allowing them to build U.S. work experience legally. Dr. Nidhi Shah's classroom replaces fictional case studies with live employer challenges, giving students actionable feedback opportunities. At Collège André-Grasset, students completed remote hands-on work-integrated learning projects to overcome pandemic and distance barriers. These opportunities are helping to even the playing field and bridge the gap between academic theory and industry needs.
