Description¶

The article names three planned applications of the FRTF: "as curricular support, as an assessment tool both at the student and program level, and as a tool for integration between WIL experiences and academic curriculum." Concretely, the FRTF can anchor WIL preparatory curriculum and workplace reflections, collect employer or student feedback via its behavioral statements for student self-assessment and program gap analysis, and link course or program learning outcomes to talents employers recognize, with mapping exercises potentially revealing curricular gaps.

Design Implications¶

Context¶

Requirements¶

• Requires WIL stakeholders to adopt the FRTF as a shared frame of reference and to map or collect feedback against its behavioral statements

Constraints¶

• Discussions of access to WIL programs for underrepresented groups and equity impacts extend beyond the scope of the current research and are suggested as areas for future consideration

Target Learners¶

• WIL students
• post-secondary students in cooperative education and work-integrated programs

Target Learning Goals¶

• Talent development, self-assessment, and preparation for the future of work

Affordances¶

• Future Ready Talent Framework Frtf
