“…In this regard, WIL is still at many times, mistaken for a simple internship or work placement. WIL, in its various forms, has existed for more than 100 years and extensive research regarding various aspects of WIL has been conducted (Groenewald and Shurink, 2013;Kay and DeVeau, 2013;Yiu and Law, 2012;Zopiatis and Theocharous, 2013). WIL is considered as the practice that combines traditional academic knowledge/formal learning with student exposure to the world-of-work in their chosen profession (Von Treuer et al, 2010).…”

“…However, it is worth mentioning that research around the relationship between theoretical education and practical experience has been done in abundance providing clarity on roles of stakeholders in WIL (Yiu and Law, 2012;Stanley, 2005;Choy and Delahaye, 2011). The same can be said about research done on the benefits of WIL (Weible, 2010;Pitout, 2009;Zopiatis and Theocharous, 2013;Rudman and Terblanche, 2012;Leslie and Richardson, 2000), research on expectations of WIL (Cannon and Arnold, 2010;Kelley-Patterson and George, 2001;Stone and McLaren, 1999;Emslie, 2009), perceptions of WIL (Petrillose and Montgomery, 1998;Lam and Ching, 2007;Ross and Elechi, 2002;Kay and DeVeau, 2013;Cho, 2006;Tse, 2010;Beggs et al, 2008) and the contribution of WIL (Walo, 2001;Zopiatis, 2007;Groenewald and Schurink, 2003). The results of all these studies can be summed-up as providing useful information about WIL in areas identified above but all these studies fall short in assessing the supervisor's assessments of WIL and students' analysis of their own WIL experience.…”

“…This has seen the success of academic programmes of institutions of higher learning being measured by their ability to impart on graduate's knowledge, skills and aptitude considered important by industry (Petrillose and Montgomery, 1998). This is a sentiment shared by captains of industry and professionals indicating the importance of integrating academic study and experiential education with the aim to provide students with effective opportunities for success in their chosen industry (Kay and DeVeau, 2013). Based on the above discussed views, the purpose of this paper is to analyse the evaluations of supervisors of Lerotholi Polytechnic 2019 final year tourism students WIL and the evaluation of WIL by students themselves.…”

The success of work-integrated learning (WIL) in academic activities is dependent on feedback from supervisors and the students themselves. Feedback from industry supervisors is crucial for the success of WIL activities in ac ademic qualifications. The purpose of this paper is to analyse the evaluations of supervisors of Lerotholi Polytechnic 2019 final year tourism students WIL and the evaluation of WIL by students themselves. This was done by supervisors evaluating the frequency with which they observed certain behaviour from the students. The evaluation questionnaire formed part of the final WIL report that the students submitted back to the institution upon completing the WIL program. The findings of this research indicate that overall observations by supervisors were consistently and often whilst from a student’s perspective, findings show that payment for WIL and gender affect aspects related to how they agreed or disagreed with statements in question.

“…A cardinal constituent to making an internship programme stand out is job rotation. It permits interns to serve in the various sections of the organisation (industry) to gain practical experience in a range of activities (Gillim, 2006;Hasbullah & Sulaiman, 2002) under supervisors as multiple mentors during internship (Kay & DeVeau, 2003;Lam & Ching, 2007). Articulating the responsibilities of interns and internship supervisors prior to the internship is a key element in a successful internship (Beggs et al, 2006).…”
