Abstract
This study aims to position work-integrated learning (WIL) as a transformative pedagogy for international business (IB) education. By embedding diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) into WIL, the authors demonstrate how universities can better prepare IB students to navigate global challenges and thrive in multicultural, dynamic business environments. WIL brings together students, industry and higher education providers to meet the needs of the labour market, where DEI increasingly matter from both a business case and social justice perspective. Building on over 30 years of cumulative experience in industry engagement and WIL, the authors discuss key forces, trends, challenges and opportunities in co-creating inclusive WIL opportunities for an increasingly diverse group of learners.Description
