Apologies for cross-posting. Would anyone with experience of either being or employing an NHS graduate trainee librarian/library trainee be willing to spend a few minutes sharing your thoughts with me. I'm trying to get some preliminary thoughts together for a possible future presenation/article. Any replies will be kept confidential and anonymous throughout. I'm interested in understanding more about the following: *Employers* How many times have you employed a graduate trainee librarian/library trainee? How was the post developed? Was it CILIP-accredited? How was the job description decided upon? What went well? What could be improved upon? *Graduate trainees* How do you feel your traineeship went? What could have been improved upon? How do you think it compares to other graduate traineeships? And to anyone who has never employed a graduate trainee librarian/library trainee could you give me a reason for this? Lack of need? Lack of funds? Just not interested? Never thought of it before? All replies will be treated with confidentiality and anonymity throughout - please reply to [log in to unmask] Thank you all!
