Virtual work experience program
The work experience program allows students the opportunity to experience contemporary ways of working, from homes, and with people across geographic boundaries, just as CSIRO scientists do every day.
Virtual work experience allows students to undertake collaborative, group science, technology, engineering and maths (STEM) projects, including projects linked to real-world CSIRO research and industry challenges. Instead of students attending a CSIRO site, experienced CSIRO staff or STEM industry professionals will supervise groups of students remotely using a secure online platform. The groups will comprise up to five students who may be remote from each other and who will work together to compete work and tasks that can be used as part of portfolios and help inform their study and/or career plans.
Eligibility
To be eligible to do virtual work experience with CSIRO, students must be:
in year 10 or 11, and aged 15-17 years for the duration of the work experience
enrolled in a school in Australia
able to commit to the designated days between July and December 2020
be supported by a teacher, parent or other approved adult in their physical location throughout their work experience project.
