If you missed some of the most popular workshops in this year's Museums Skills Programme, you are being given a second chance to catch one!  Thanks to the careful husbanding of resources by Sarah Lewis (training co-ordinator) and Clive Fisher (treasurer) and to host museums' and speekers' generosity with their fees, we are able to offer three additional sessions.

The challenge

In Cornwall, all Year 10 school students undertake an employer placement.  The Royal Cornwall Museum (RCM) determined students who apply to work with them should not only find this good work experience but also understand the range of museum career opportunities.
