The symbiotic relationship between work and learning is becoming increasingly important in shaping student success and future employability at the dynamic intersection of higher education and employment. A national strategy to support work-integrated learning (WIL) is a critical mechanism for strengthening employer-educational partnerships, facilitating WIL in nontraditional programs, and guiding colleges and universities seeking to deliver WIL activities. To address the complex and dynamic needs of workers in modern workplaces, it is crucial to implement policy initiatives that support educational programs. This chapter delves deep into the multifaceted world of WIL and the global policies enabling it, drawing from a comprehensive narrative review of relevant literature to meticulously explore policies that can help achieve successful WIL experiences. These areas include the development of a nationally accepted framework of skills and competencies required for the workplace success of future graduates, standardized language to define the role and criteria for microcredentials to facilitate the retraining of adult workers, and the creation of a student work-study program to ease students’ financial burden to attain higher education while providing valuable WIL experiences for students and necessary labor support for postsecondary institutions.
