Global State of Experiential Learning Report

Experiential learning has reached a digital plateau. Most institutions have gone digital, but few have gone deeper—resulting in functional programs that lack visibility, confident teams operating without clarity, and institutions underutilizing the data they already collect.

The “2025 Global State of Experiential Learning Report” reveals a striking contradiction: while most programs feel confident in their field placement systems, deeper analysis reveals untapped insights—like competency attainment, placement quality, and accreditation evidence—that could drive meaningful progress.

Inside, you'll find:

• New 2025 research findings: Explore how programs across the U.S. and U.K. manage placements, assessments, and accreditation—and where inefficiencies remain.
• Key barriers to insight: Learn why access to data doesn’t equal visibility—and how manual, multi-tool workflows slow progress.
• Strategies for smarter growth: See how leading institutions are streamlining systems and surfacing deeper insights.

This report reveals where programs stand, what’s holding them back, and how the next wave of growth will come—not just from going digital, but by transforming data into actionable insight that drives student and institutional success.
