Hi all,
We have made a couple of changes in the last couple of years to how we handle work experience requests:
1. We introduced an application form, to try to make sure we really are only getting genuinely keen candidates
2. Most secondary school students who apply to us do so because they want to study history at university. To offer something to more students in a more efficient way, for the last two years we have run a workshop in conjunction with the University of Essex called Applying for History at University, which gives students a flavour of our collections and includes a talk from a UoE admissions tutor on what makes a good application
If anyone would like any further details of these I'd be very happy to pass them on.
Kind regards,
Hannah Salisbury
