Hi Readers,
We have compiled a list of advantages one receives, while opting for a Work Integrated Degree from an University instead of a Regular On-Campus Degree. But before that let me define, what is WILP.
WILP: Work Integrated Learning Programs are a set of Education Programmes which are targeted at Working Professionals irrespective of work field and industry. In India a few Universities provide a quality program worth considering. Also at present, Industries are at a ascending curve to recognise these programmes. But as it is undertaken while being at the work location under the direct supervision of the Mentor also at the work location it is well received by the industry and the Employee.
The Advantages:
1. The Work Experience just never stops:
The Person undertakes such endeavours (WILP) while working at full potential at the work place. So one is carrying a double edged Sword! Work Experience just keeps on adding! It just never stops! Learning goes hand in hand!
2. Super-Glued and Well-Connected to the course material:
As the person who takes such endeavours(WILP) is never separated from the industry and the work place, therefore, discovers and invents more number of stronger connections with the course material and implements the knowledge in the personal/academic work as well as at the work place!
3. No On-Campus Recruitment-Ruckus:
There is no denying the fact of On-Campus Professional courses that at least 25-50% of the course duration is spent speculating, dreaming, worrying, fretting, premonition, preparing and polishing oneself for the D-Week when the companies looking for the worthy, to be taken in their organisation, visit the campus. As the person who takes such endeavours(WILP) has never to bother about such frivolous matter as one is in the game already, one remains fully focused for the entirety of the duration of the course. Just Awesome Right Readers!
4. Synchronous Connection with the Industry:
The Person who undertakes such endeavours (WILP) finds more relevance to the Programme curriculum as a member of the Industry and as a functioning cog in the system, well greased and in motion. While it can be said that the On-Campus cohorts are in the shackles of the Campus and its rituals, waiting to be released again to the Industry. The connection whatsoever is faintly established through internships and industrial visits.
5. Living in Reality:
The Person who undertakes such endeavours (WILP) remains in the realms of the constant updation, being active in the industry and its latest trends. It forces the person to ponder upon the real-time cases around him rather than the case-studies only on paper.
6. Pangs of Entrepreneurship:
Ah! the pangs of entrepreneurship, the zest of being the CEO of one's own company! The Person who undertakes such endeavours (WILP) gets the perspective soon enough and may realize or even goes ahead to do so right away! One need not wait for the Campus rituals to come to an end to even step into that world.
7. Panoramic Perspective:
Having being involved in a small segment/domain of the industry and worked initially at the lower rung of the workplace, employees start losing perspective and therefore the danger of stagnation looms over their heads. The syllabus of a WILP brings back the perspective and focus on the industry as a whole rather than mere a job role or a particular technology.
Best Wishes!
