To work as a mail clerk, you typically need to:

• have a high school diploma or equivalent; and
• complete short-term, on-the-job training.

Education after high school

No formal education is required for this job beyond high school.

On-the-job training

This is a first job for many people. Mail clerks usually learn their skills on the job. Another employee usually provides training. The length of training varies by employer, but can last up to one month.

You may be required to have a driver's license if you make deliveries to other buildings.
