High Impact Practices (HIPs) are research-based instructional practices that promote active learning and real-world application, empowering students to achieve higher levels of academic and personal growth. Experiential and Work-Based Learning HIPs provide a course focused on immersive real-world experiences. This includes Clinicals, Internships, Practicums, and Work-Based Learning, where students apply theoretical knowledge in real-world environments under professional supervision. These experiences provide students with the opportunity to gain firsthand experience in their chosen career paths, often accompanied by coaching and structured reflection. Florida’s work-based learning statutes define the necessary conditions for meaningful student engagement in real-world tasks. These practices emphasize dialogue, critical reflection, and feedback from supervisors, allowing students to apply their learning to authentic challenges and present their findings publicly. Whether students are working in healthcare, education, business, or other fields, this practice is essential for bridging academic concepts with practical application, enhancing career readiness.
