We write regularly about the events and training activities that we participate in as part of our traineeship programme. Regular visits to a variety of different libraries in Cambridge and the surrounding area introduce us to the wealth of opportunities available within librarianship, helping us to develop a wider professional awareness. In addition to this, we are also given training in basic library skills such as cataloguing and classification, as well as being given the opportunity to participate in other professional development opportunities.
We also blog about our activities, to give prospective applicants an insight into the regular working week at each of the libraries participating in the Cambridge graduate trainee scheme.
