Abstract
Work integrated learning (WIL), in its various forms, continues to be a central element of university tourism programs and provides students with opportunities for both personal and professional development. Self-authorship, the student’s use of their internal voice to guide their beliefs, identity and relationships, has been recognised as an important stage of personal development. This thesis explored the extent to which WIL enables self-authorship development in tourism students. An interpretive, longitudinal case study methodology guided the study. Ultimately, the findings indicate the significant potential of WIL to foster students’ self-authorship development given the opportunities and challenges inherent with placements.
