The British Museum is making a final call for partners for its HLF Skills for the Future-funded 'Learning Museum' programme, ahead of the 15th October deadline.  They are particularly keen to hear from museums which promote diversity, community engagement, youth employment and vocational training (alongside innovative skills in both collections management and museum development).  The scheme will provide young people from diverse backgrounds with high quality entry-level vocational training.  Twenty trainees will be mentored at partner museums for one year.  There will also be group work, creating a network among all those involved.  The British Museum will pay all direct costs, and support the recruitment of trainees.  The project will begin in December 2014.  Contact [log in to unmask] for full details.
