Experiential learning is having something of a moment.
As graduate outcomes migrate from peripheral strategic decoration to become core drivers of educational missions, many universities are seeking to build out from the long-standing gold-standard of sandwich degrees.
Responding to the challenge of scaling and aborted early attempts at “a placement for every student,” universities are rightly diversifying how they integrate work-like “experiences” into the curriculum, heavily mobilising concepts like “practice” and “application” (of knowledge).
This may be something of a global trend, with a slew of new posts investing in experiential capacity through Australia and Asia in recent months – joining a more established appetite for “service” and applied learning in the States.
