This paper presents a framework that encompasses work integrated learning but does not focus solely on work experience placement for the development of employability skills. A student and program lifecycle approach has been adopted to assist the journey of the student from novice to emerging professional, and key to this is the development of self-knowledge through critical reflection, that is, an understanding of personal strengths, challenges, needs and strategies for growth in a rapidly changing work environment. The importance of this is confirmed in both national and global contexts where “entry level roles for young people are disappearing” and 70% of all jobs are being radically changed by automation (Foundation for Young Australians, 2015). Engineers are involved at the centre of these changes as well as being impacted by them. And require ever more integrated and flexible resources and systems to connect and assure their learning.
