Hi,

You may have work experience students who may be neurodivergent (dyslexia, dyspraxia, ADHD, autism).  They would have a great deal to offer in respect to creative thinking, problem solving, ICT skills etc but may need support in respect to strategies or the workplace environment.  In this instance its better to plan ahead. If you require support in respect to neurodiversity awareness particularly in relation to students I'm happy to help.

With Best Wishes

Hello all

Glad to see you are looking at broadening the diversity of and entry routes for the sector workforce.

In 2017 I completed evaluation of the Worcestershire Skills for the Future programme and I found the recommendations of the following reports very useful in laying out future recommendations and challenges to my clients. I would highly recommend you take a look when considering how and where and why you recruit for your work placements.

Character Matters: Attitudes, behaviours and skills in the UK Museum Workforce, BOP, (2016)
http://www.artscouncil.org.uk/document/character-matters-attitudes-behaviours-and-skills-uk-museum-workforce-full-report

 Historic Environment and Cultural Heritage Skills Survey, English Heritage and Creative and Cultural Skills, (2013) 

You might also like to look at the British Museum's Learning Museum programme (2014-2017) which looked at transforming the recruitment process at entry level: http://www.britishmuseum.org/about_us/skills-sharing/learning_museum.aspx

All the very best.

Hi Lucy and Helen,

 

I’m currently doing the same thing here. We are trying to make it so that those who are really interested are the ones offered the limited places we have.

I would also be interested in any advice or policies that people are willing for me to look at.

 

Thanks,

 

Julie
