Abstract: All work integrated learning programs share one underlying goal: to make students more employable. This research concentrates on the viewpoints of organizational workforce (employers that provide work-integrated learning experiences to students) in terms of how it improves students' professional competencies. In 21 different organizations where students were placed, the research looks at the links between student engagement in work-integrated learning and the advancement of their office management and technology competencies. According to the findings of this research, students' competencies were enhanced, and they are more prepared to adapt to changing workplaces. According to this qualitative research, competencies obtained by students during successful placements may be translated into a range of circumstances, activities, and employment opportunities. This research contributes to a better understanding of many issues that placement encounter, and it suggests that collaboration between organized industry and higher education institutions be enhanced to improve communication and student’s placement.
