Are you passionate about pursuing a career in the arts? Do you believe in the power of digital to transform lives? We’re looking for eight enthusiastic participants between the ages of 16-24 to join our Summer 2024 Work Experience Programme.
About the opportunity
You will join us for a week-long online placement where we involve you fully in the work that we do. We schedule a full programme of activities that will enable you to develop your skills, build your confidence, and learn more about the variety of career opportunities available in the arts and heritage sector.
The programme involves spending time with different teams in our organisation; Commercial, Content, Copyright & Licensing, Development, Digitisation, Learning and Marketing. The tasks you will carry out closely relate to our core activities and the projects taking place during that given time period, with tasks closely mirroring activities undertaken by each team to give you an understanding of the type of work carried out on a day-to-day basis at Art UK.
Where possible, we will arrange for you to spend up to one day of your work experience placement with a local collection whose artworks are on Art UK. Please note that visits to collections will be dependent on availability of participating collections in your local area.
Key information
- Monday to Friday from 9.30am to 4.30pm, with a one-hour lunch break
- The programme will be delivered online and remotely
- Participants must have computer access with a stable internet connection, and ideally the facility to undertake video conference calls via Zoom or similar
- Applications are open to participants aged 16 to 24
Please note that we only take on one individual per week to ensure we can provide the best support and experience possible to all participants.
We welcome and encourage applications from candidates who are under-represented in the creative industries, particularly individuals who experience physical, mental, or social barriers to accessing the arts.
Deadline: 9am on Tuesday 12th March 2024
