Work Experience
The MFB offers work experience placements to year 10 secondary school students.
Students should note that the positions offered are primarily of an administrative nature in our corporate departments - students are unable to undertake work experience at fire stations or on firefighting activities.
Work experience is available in the following fields:
- administrative (located in East Melbourne and Burnley)
- mechanical (located in Thornbury)
- computer (located at Burnley)
Positions in these areas are limited and only made available to students with a genuine interest in one of the above fields.
