The first 27 sessions represent a range of their planned strands, giving everyone the chance to learn about new, or familiar, job roles, get some advice on managing your own career – including time for reflection and personal development and the first set of “real talk” where they will analyse and dismantle the issues of the museum and heritage sector recruitment.
All the events are completely free to attend. To find out more and to book your place please click here >>
With even more sessions due to be announced soon, this will certainly be an inspiring and engaging week.
