#WILfromhome Social Media Campaign

For the next month, we want you to join the conversation and show the world how we #WILfromhome. Beginning April 1st, tweet, post and encourage your employer and community partners, students, and staff to showcase how work-integrated learning is continuing and thriving during this unprecedented time. Let's face it, the world has changed in the past few months, and how we connect, learn and continue to do business has shifted as well. There are still business problems to solve, and students who are eager and WIL-ing to gain experience, find meaningful solutions and build the skills they require to be successful following graduation. It's our time to broadcast to the world that WIL is continuing across Canada in large numbers. To help the efforts, we have put together some ideas and tools to make it as easy as possible to showcase how you #WILfromhome.

Ways to Get Involved

Below are just a few ways to get involved. Be creative and get your students, staff and partners on-board in all or some of the following ways:

  • Social Media contests - encourage students and partners to post how they are participating in #WILfromhome
  • Post about webinars and virtual events that help to further develop student skills
  • Feature students currently engaged in Work-Integrated Learning that have had to shift to working/learning remotely
  • Post pics, videos and/or set-up IG Live Posts that show off new home offices/set-ups
  • Encourage your teams to post about collaborations and successes or even new initiatives or projects with students, key employers and community partners during this time
  • Post facts - i.e. Total number of students from your institution or organization engaged in WIL remotely
