# Work-Integrated learning (WIL)

### WHAT IS WIL?

Work-integrated learning \(WIL\) is an experiential learning opportunity between Seneca, students and employers. Students meeting all academic requirements may have the opportunity to complete an optional work term\(s\) in a formal work environment. The work term\(s\) is similar in length to an academic semester and typically involves full-time work hours that may be paid or unpaid. In programs with limited work term opportunities, additional academic requirements and a passing grade on a communication assessment may be required for eligibility. Eligibility for participation does not guarantee a work position will be secured. Additional fees are required for those participating in the optional work term stream regardless of success in securing a work position.
