Our Work Experience & Student Placement program helps secondary and tertiary students gain exposure to real world skills to complement their study.
Eligibility & criteria
Students applying for the program must be:
- currently studying in Year 10, Year 11, Year 12 (or equivalent) or at an Australian educational institution
- covered by appropriate insurance through their school/institution for the duration of placement and provide paperwork to verify this
If you do not meet all of the above criteria we are unable to proceed any further with your application.
There are no costs to apply for Work Experience or Student Placement.
The number and timing of placements offered depends on the capacity of the library to provide effective on the job experience. The City of Charles Sturt Library Service endeavours to accommodate as many students as possible but is unable to guarantee that all will be placed.
Work experience can include skill areas like:
- customer experience: front of house service, off and on desk tasks
- collections: learn how to catalogue. select and process an item
- literacy & learning - programming & events: observe and assist with set up and programming a session
- outreach: join a staff member in home service, mobile library run, home service selection, and outreach sessions
- communications and engagement: introduction and overview of engagement activities
