MLA pledges up to £250,000 for apprenticeships
The Museums, Libraries and Archives Council (MLA) has pledged £250,000 worth of funding for up to 50 apprenticeships in museums across England over the next two years.
The scheme, which is part of the Creative Apprenticeship programme developed by Creative & Cultural Skills, is designed to open up entry routes into museums and will provide £5,000 for each apprentice's employment.
Roy Clare, chief executive of the MLA, said: "Current economic circumstances emphasise the urgent need to invest in the cultural workforce in Britain.
"We are fully committed to creating more training opportunities, nurturing creativity and improving diversity. We are excited about what these apprenticeships can bring to the industry and the start it can give people wanting to make a career in our sector."
There are three pathways in the Creative Apprenticeship scheme that museums can focus on: community arts management, cultural and heritage venue operations and live events and production.
The deadline for the first round of applications is 17 July. Details: www.ccskills.org.uk
