Introduction
Considering the fact theoretical education and practical knowledge of work is not the same, workplace learning (WPL) programs offer learners to have the experience of the actual work in a practical manner so that they can make appropriate changes in selecting their educational organisation. In accounting context, WPL programs are used in educational and industrial organisations for making learners more aligned to practical usage of accounting theories. The current presentation is aimed at my colleagues to make them consider the importance of WPL and wider incorporation of the method in educational as well as in industrial organisations.
Purposes of Industry and University Conducting WPL
The practice of WPL is seen opted by educational and industrial organisations the most as both share complementary interests from the process.
Educational Organisations’ Reasons for Conducting WPL
· Creating a theoretical and practical knowledge ration for better knowledge of workplace
· Creating scope for students to associate theoretical learning with practical learning
· Appearing as an institution that offers better career opportunities to sustain incoming of students
As educational organisations, offer their students the chance to gather experience of WPL, the degree of student satisfaction increases, helping in retaining the number of students. As noted by Hicks (2018), educational organisations offer WPL as a form of vocational training for its students, which makes the student feel that they are getting a better and more realistic knowledge for their career. The sense of attaining a better career keeps the students attached to the educational organisation, which eventually leads to increase in the reputation of the organisation. Although in case of private schools, the objective of providing WPL to students for their retention converts into profiting propositions. However, as mentioned by Franquesa-Soler, Barraza and Serio-Silva (2018), in case of government owned educational organisation the purpose of providing WPL becomes public welfare, promotion of vocational training and development of a more efficient future generation of employees.
Industrial Organisations’ Reasons for Conducting WPL
· Present work of the organisation in a lucrative manner to attract potential talent
· Make students aware about the nature of work, to make them more skilfully attuned
· Show the potential career opportunity to ensure flow of future human resource
Industrial organisations, due to employee turnover, retirement of older staffs and business expansion require constant flow of skilled human resources. Considering the fact that students are the future human resource of every industrial organisation, WPL programs are supported by industrial organisations. As noticed by Verhaest and Baert (2018), as the students come to gather experience at the workplace, the industrial organisations present their work in lucrative manner and offer some basic training to the students. The lucrative workplace representation makes the students attracted and consequently seeks the career opportunity, ensuring the flow of human resource for the specific industry. The training provided to...
