The Royal Ontario Museum owes its existence to the efforts of many people. The founders, including Sir Byron Edmund Walker and Dr. Charles Trick Currelly, began with a vision for a provincial museum in Toronto. Over the years, the careful planning of numerous employees and volunteers has expanded that vision and today the ROM is a well-known international museum. Through Focus on Youth, students at the TCDSB have the rare opportunity to spend the summer working at the ROM!
The ROM placement is unique to every other placement available in the Focus On Youth program. It offers students desk work experience and the opportunity to see what exactly it means to be professional. Students are given intern jobs where they work in customer service and paperwork fields of work. They are often at the desk and if not, working hard to ensure that the museum guests enjoy their visit. Though it may not seem like the most exciting job at first glance, many of our staff said they absolutely loved to energetic atmosphere and would love to work there again.
