Tate Modern Adult Programmes
Training Placement
For Ethnic Minority Graduates

Tate has created a new three-month programme within the Interpretation
and Education Department designed to give ethnic minority groups the
chance to gain experience within the arts sector.  It is a key part of
our drive to make a positive cultural, social and economic contribution
to the communities we serve.  It is also an invaluable way for us to
develop greater cultural diversity in all aspects of our work.

The Interpretation and Education Department at Tate Modern consists of
approximately 20 staff who work with a variety of different audiences.
As part of the placement in adult programmes you will play a role in
supporting adult courses, general and specialist talks and discussions,
academic symposia and film programmes. You will have the opportunity to
supervise certain events and assist with research, proof reading and
artist liaison. This is an exciting opportunity for anyone interested in
pursuing a career in Gallery, Museum or Arts Education.

You will need competent office and computer skills as well as the
ability to prioritise and multi task in a busy, open plan environment.
Attention to detail and an ability to work relatively unsupervised are
important for candidates in this placement. Confidence in dealing with
members of the public, event delegates and guest speakers is also
essential.

You will have the opportunity to work alongside the Curators of Adult
Learning, Public Events, Film and the Assistant Curator of Education
Events. You may also be asked to assist, take part in visits or attend
workshops in conjunction with other people within the department.
