This work-based learning has gained significant attention in the field of education as a way to bridge the gap between theoretical knowledge of Malcolm Knowles' Theory and practical application. This article provides an overview of the evaluation of work-based learning at the Research Management and Innovation Centre Universiti Pendidikan Sultan Idris (RMIC-UPSI) under the umbrella of the Research, Innovation, Society and Entrepreneurship unit (RISE). This evaluation aims to synthesize existing literature and studies, summarize relevant information, and analyze available evidence to determine the current state of work-based learning at RMIC-UPSI. The evaluation focuses on the integration of work-based learning within the postgraduate students enrolled in the Business Strategic Management course at UPSI. It explores the impact of work-based learning on students' abilities to integrate their academic and work-related experiences, as well as the development of skills and competencies required in the business management sector. The evaluation also examines the effectiveness of work-based learning interventions in terms of their impact on students' performance. Based on the review of 8 enrolled students, it is found that all of them show good performance in which studies demonstrate a positive impact. Overall, this evaluation of work-based learning at UPSI provides valuable insights into the integration and effectiveness of this learning approach. The evaluation of work-based learning at UPSI aims to determine the current state of integration and effectiveness of this learning approach. It emphasizes the need for further research and evaluation to fully understand the relationships among workplace learning environments, learning strategies, and learning outcomes in the TVET context at UPSI.
