In the summer of 2018, the Cooperative Education and Work Integrated Learning (CEWIL), the lead organization for work-integrated learning in Canada, hosted the Embracing Change conference. The conference explored how Co-operative Education, Work- Integrated Learning and Experiential Learning are evolving to meet the needs and demands of various stakeholders.
Presentations were made by Employment and Social Development Canada (ESDC) outlining their vision for work-integrated learning in Canada and its Student Work Placement Program (SWPP). SWPP partners, including ITAC Talent, also provided an overview of their programming activities.
