Students were matched and were very diversewith majors in Liberal Arts and Sciences, Communications/Journalism, Computer Science, Forensic Science,Computer Information Systems, Computer Science and Engineering and Digital Media. Students selectedfrom the FWS program had no such algorithm for matching (all majors were accepted) and consisted of aninterview followed by a selection by the host office. The assignments were guided by the student’s major andinterest. The paper will present the recruitment, selection, project operation, timeline, management

In this paper, WBEs are defined as paidengagements for students as they work on solving real-world problems, while performing tasksand projects in partnership with an employer or community partner. Three types of WBEs arerepresented: internships (Study 1), apprenticeships (Study 2), and company employees (Study 3).All three studies used the Socio-Technical Integration Research (STIR) methodology which hasbeen established in 80 studies worldwide and over a dozen peer-reviewed publications.

placements are significant for shaping students' pre-professional identity. Research hasalso shown that participation in WIL provides opportunities for students to engage intransformative learning that shape professional identity formation (Trede, 2012). Bothfacilitating and impeding factors in implementing WIL have been studied (Choy & Delahaye,2011; Jackson, 2015; Patrick et al., 2008).Despite the amount of work carried out on the effect of WIL internships, there has beenscarce research on WIL internships implemented in a TNE situation. One such rare study wascarried out by Bilsland et al. (2019) on a group of business undergraduate alumni on thevalue of internship electives in a TNE project in Vietnam.

The structure and organization of micro-internships varied across organizations andparticipants. For most, the micro-internship operated mainly as an intensive job shadowing andmentorship experience with participants virtually embedded in the mentor’s activities; for a fewparticipants, the micro-internship also involved working on small projects and presenting anddiscussing results with
