What We Offer 

We work closely with local schools and community members to develop work experience opportunities with the aim of allowing students to become familiar with positions, careers, employer expectations and working conditions. 

As Council delivers a diverse portfolio of services, we are also able to offer a wide range of unpaid work experience from environmental services to marketing and administration. The number of work experience placements available within the Council depends on the ability of the work area to provide effective on-the-job experience at a time suitable to both the divisional area and student. 

Eligibility Criteria  

To be considered eligible you must meet the following criteria:

  • Be a current secondary school student or tertiary student.
  • Be required to complete the relevant nominal hours of practical experience as part of your course.
  • Have a specific work area in mind, and a specific start date.
  • Be provided with insurance coverage by your educational institution for the duration of your work experience at Council.
