**About us**:
Monash University has a proud history of over 50 years of Aboriginal & Torres Strait Islander engagement. The Monash Indigenous Traineeship Program 2021 provides you with the opportunity to commence a career at Australia’s largest University over a 12-month fixed-term appointment. The position is based across our Melbourne campuses (predominantly Clayton and Caulfield).

**The Indigenous Traineeship Program**:
If selected, you will be joining almost 70 Indigenous staff and over 350 Indigenous students in a culturally safe workplace which provides the support and development to kick-start your career.

Our Indigenous Traineeship Program is designed to provide trainees with an opportunity to gain a Certificate IV in Business. The experience and qualifications gained will benefit Indigenous participants who are seeking an opportunity to begin or build their career in administration.

A fundamental aspect of our Traineeship is rotating through various divisions within an organisation, developing the skills and experiences needed to be successful in today’s work environment, adapting to change and collaborating with people from diverse backgrounds and work environments.

As a Trainee, you will complete a placement of 12 months in length within Monash Library, working with both the Monash University Publishing and the Flexible Library Administration Services Hub (FLASH) teams. This assignment will provide you with a solid understanding of the inner workings of Monash University Library and an insight into the world of publishing.

You will support senior staff and the publishing officer in the Monash University Publishing team to produce new publications, building skills in customer service, dispatch of customer orders, data entry and administration tasks. When working in the FLASH team you will be part of a small supportive team that provides Library staff with a variety of administrative services including procurement, staff technology, staff travel and catering. Your days will be varied and you will be occupied by a range of tasks. This is a unique opportunity to gain a view into all aspects of the work of these two crucial teams within Monash University Library, including participating in team meetings and discussions.

The overarching goal of the Indigenous Traineeship Program is to build upon your strengths, expand your knowledge and develop you as a professional, which in turn will improve your career opportunities upon successful completion of the program.

**Your support network**:
We’ve partnered with a registered training organisation to support you through this learning journey. You will be provided with an Indigenous mentor, and have the support of our Program Manager and access to our Elder in Residence. Structured study time will also be allocated to assist you in your learning, with a dedicated Indigenous study lounge available to you throughout the Traineeship program.

**Our process**:
This role is a full-time position; however, flexible working arrangements may be negotiated.

At Monash University, we are committed to being a Child Safe organisation. This position at the University will require the incumbent to hold a valid Working with Children Check.
