Work experience program

Flinders University Library Work Experience Program

Flinders University Library offers a work experience program to introduce school students to the wide range of career opportunities available in an academic library.

Students will gain a practical understanding of the different types of work (e.g. customer service, purchasing, creation of teaching materials, social media etc.) that are undertaken in an academic library through involvement with various projects, undertaking selected tasks and meeting with different teams to discuss job roles and career pathways.

Applications for high school work experience must be submitted through our online form. University students studying library and information management should instead contact Office of the Library for information about project or placement opportunities.
