This article presents the research related to the work integrated learning (WIL) model. The objectives were to explore their characteristics and the techniques associated with them. The focus is models linked to the IT industry or IT department in non-IT industries. A systematic literature review (SLR) was applied as the methodology. The authors collected data reported from 2006 to 2016 from eight databases. There were 24 articles which matched their search criteria. The WIL models reported can be separated into four groups. The two key features are activities created by universities, and activities offered by industry. The model techniques are knowledge, methods, and tools for acquiring research problems and developing solutions. The authors found that the models offered are very broad and need to be narrowed down so that prospective careers and the needs of the digital workforce are prioritized. They suggest future trends in WIL models in the digital economy.
