Workplacement and School based traineeships

Council is passionate about supporting our local and regional talent to learn new skills and be exposed to the many different operations of Council.  Each year, Council offers up to fifteen students (school, university or TAFE) the opportunity for short term work placements across all areas of Council. Whether it’s in the business support team, engineering technical or our outdoor operations, there are opportunities for you.  

Work placement and Graduate rotations are generally between 1 week and 1 month and are discussed and agreed on at the application stage.  If you are a highly motivated student and would like to immerse yourself in the Council operation and learn practical, hands on skills to support your school, TAFE or University studies, please contact Council on people@forbes.nsw.gov.au or call Council and ask to speak with HR.
