Museum Studies Careers Workshop

Following on from the Transforming Skills event organised by Mark, which took place in February, I have organised a Careers Workshop for Art Gallery and Museum Studies students. The event is aimed at teaching students (including myself) how to write a successful job application, CV and how to prepare for a job interview. A number of museum and arts professionals from around the country have been kind enough to give up their time to come and speak to the students about their experiences in the industry. The organisations involved include the Leeds City Council, Leeds City Art Gallery, Henry Moore Institute, York City Art Gallery, East Streets Arts, Marks and Spencers, Stanley and Audrey Burton Gallery, Ryedale Folk Museum and the Museums and Libraries Association in Bristol. This event will give us a great chance to ask all those niggling questions we have as well as providing us with a great opportunity to network and meet people in the industry!

The event is taking place on Friday 16th April in the Old Mining Building, G.19, between 10am and around 3pm. Lunch is provided and their will be refreshments throughout the day - what more could you want?!
