 Increasing Employability Through Development of Generic Skills: Considerations for Remote Course Delivery During COVID-19 PandemicNatalya Totskaya ()
A chapter in Strategic Innovative Marketing and Tourism in the COVID-19 Era, 2021, pp 69-76 from Springer Abstract: Abstract This paper takes a look at current approaches to work integrated learning (WIL) aimed to development of generic skills in post-secondary education. Various types of WIL expose students to real-life professional environment as part of their course work or work placement. Experiential learning is recognized for its contribution to development of generic skills and increased employability of graduates. Most of WIL models are appropriate for industry placements, but have limitations when implemented on campus as part of traditional curriculum. In uncertain situation of global COVID-19 pandemic post-secondary educational institutions need to adjust their approach to WIL for on-campus and remote delivery of experiential learning. This paper reviews current approaches to WIL and introduces a framework for development of selected generic skills as part of remote and blended teaching and learning.
