The Ethnic Minority Career Museum & Built Environment Heritage Programme

The Ethnic Minority Career Museum & Built Environment Heritage Programme (2017-2020) With this project with funding from National Lottery Heritage Fund, we recruited 16 trainees from Black & Ethnic Minority Communities to achieve the diversity aim of the programme, delivered 16 year-long placements in skills related to museums and the historic built environment with an associated accredited qualification, enhanced capacity through a cultural change programme including training for heritage organisations in equality and diversity and seminars and workshops on how to engage with black and minority and ethnic communities. Additionally, we share learning and good practice with a Best Practice Guide and an end of project seminar. It is worthy of mention that a total of 10 secured employment following the programme.
