WISP – Work Placement for International Student Programs

The Workplacement for International Student Programs or WISP project was a federally funded project through Australia's Office for Learning and Teaching (OLT) 2014-2016. The project was led by  Griffith University and involved a total of six universities across Australia.
​
The project aimed to take a cross-disciplinary and contextual approach to improving work-placement (e.g. internship, practicum, clinical placement, work integrated learning) for international students, their mentors and other people who support them. The team are currently still working in relevant areas.
