The Challenges of Starting in Conservation: Skills to help Students and Emerging Professionals PART TWO
Icon Textile Group
at 7:00pm
To: Thursday 25.03.21
at 8:00pm
Event will take place on Zoom
Cost:
Free
With the decision taken to postpone the emerging professionals event until 2022, the Textile Group have created this accessible two-part series for all students and emerging professionals to help provide some advice and support on the challenges both old and new when starting a career in conservation.
The aim of these webinars is to prepare students transitioning into employment in an ever-changing field, which is even more prevalent during these turbulent times. We hope these presentations will encourage those who are new to conservation and help equip them with the tools and contacts needed to grow successfully in the field.
After the webinar the Icon Textile Group will be holding an informal 'NEEDLE AND THREAD VIRTUAL PUB' get together via Zoom.
Please do join us on the 18th and 25th March 2021 at 8pm (London Time) to further the conversation.
