What is Work Placement?

For Odisee, practical experience in collaboration with professionals in the field is an essential component in both undergraduate and graduate programs. Students learn by working.

Graduate programs at Odisee devote 1/3rd of the program to Work Placement . This assumes a very close collaboration with the work field. Cocreation here means: training together for a specific profession.

Students effectively learn new skills in the workplace. It is thus broader than just going to apply what they have learned in practice as in a classic internship.

Why Work Placement?

Work Placement is a common thread throughout the program because learning in an authentic context is motivating. At Odisee, a gradual structure is central: students start very early with Work Placement, to get in contact with practice as soon as possible.

Mentors and Work Placement: co-creation in student learning

In Work Placement, mentoring students from inception to completion requires a shared commitment between the college and the workplace. You as a mentor are an important link in creating learning opportunities and challenges for our students, providing feedback, as well as assessing their learning outcomes within Work Placement. Together with the Odisee workplace supervisor, you help the student grow.
