Students want to connect what they learn in the classroom to work-related, career contexts, and employers are increasingly demanding graduates with practical experience and global competency. Launched in March 2017 in consultation with the VP International, Vice-Dean Undergraduate and International, Centre for International Experience, Centre for Community Partnerships, and other offices, iPRAKTIKUM is an Experiential Learning (EL) and Internationalization initiative that addresses these needs. By creating an architecture to support placements with local organizations and business subsidiaries from German-speaking countries, as well as international opportunities, iPRAKTIKUM facilitates high-impact experiences in structured learning scenarios designed to develop intercultural competence, a profound grasp of global environments, and real-world work skills. iPRAKTIKUM bundles in a coherent and sustainable structure an array of EL and internationalization opportunities for students across humanities and STEM disciplines.
