This multi-pronged, innovative project both supports the first students from the Social Service Worker program to take up internships abroad, with a specific focus on engaging target group students. The project also provides the research evidence needed to ensure that these internships, and Durham College’s International Work-Integrated Learning program, are sustainable into the future.

The project applies a novel model of inclusion by employing student researchers, thereby allowing students to help design the tools that reduce the barriers students face.
