Job Shadowing
Are you interested in working in marine science or ocean conservation? Do you love the Two Oceans Aquarium and see yourself joining a similar team one day? Our Ocean Campus offers a job shadowing programme for Grades 9 to 12 to give learners a glimpse into what their future careers could look like!
During the two-day job shadow period, learners will have the opportunity to observe Two Oceans Aquarium staff in action behind the scenes, ask them questions, and learn about our work.
Please note: Completion of the form below is not considered a confirmation of your job shadow booking - we'll be in touch to confirm.
Job shadowing takes place over two days on Tuesdays and Wednesdays. Due to the busy schedules of our staff, we are unable to accommodate job shadows outside these slots or on public holidays.
In order to apply, you need to fill in the application form below.
Be aware - we are often flooded with learners wishing to participate in the programme at the end of each term, but slots are limited. To avoid disappointment, book as early as possible, or talk to your teachers about getting some time off school earlier in the term.
Please note that you will need the following documents ready to upload when you submit your application:
- A letter from your school principal, counsellor or Life Science teacher confirming your interest in marine life/requirement to do a job shadow.
- A one-page motivational essay prepared by you.
All motivation letters must be done by the learners themselves. We will not accept applications made by parents.
