Invitation from the ACEN President

Work Integrated learning (WIL) is pivotal to increasing student employability and ensuring tertiary graduates make productive transitions into the Australian workplace. Consequently, there has been an increased national focus on WIL and the development of the National WIL Strategy by key industry groups, Universities Australia and ACEN. Enhancing WIL practice across the country is therefore critical to progressing this important national agenda.

The 6th National ACEN Conference, 28-30 September 2016 at Macquarie University, Sydney provides an opportunity under the theme of ‘WIL : Pushing the Boundaries 2020’ for delegates to continue to build their knowledge base and capacity to implement innovative practice in work integrated learning.

Due to the quality of the diverse and interesting program, the ACEN National conference continues to build its national and international credibility. Over 250 delegates including academics, professional staff, researchers, industry, government agencies, community groups and leaders in work integrated learning from right across Australia, South East Asia and beyond will attend.

On behalf of the ACEN Board and Conference Organising Committee, it is our great pleasure to invite you to participate in this world leading WIL conference. Involvement as sponsor will offer your organisation lasting benefits beyond the close of the event.

Judie Kay, President
