Work experience with your local Council
A great place to consider for work experience is the local Council.
Many local councils have structured work experience programs for high school students, as well as VET and university students looking for placements.
Why should I do work experience with the Council?
One of the main benefits of work experience with the Council is that they often have a huge variety of departments. This means students have several areas to choose from. They often include things like:
- Business
- Construction and Trades
- Horticulture
- Events and Marketing
- Human Resources
- Arts and Libraries
- Information Technology
- Engineering
- Planning and Development
Where can I find out more?
To see if your local Council offers work experience, take a look at their website.
If you cannot find any information, you might like to contact them directly and ask.
Many Councils encourage applicants to apply at least 6 weeks before they want placement, so it’s best to apply ASAP.
