The Museum Freelance Network has responded to a growing call within the cultural sector for more training specifically aimed at the needs of freelancers - especially for those thinking about, or new to self-employment. This is particularly timely given that freelance workers are being recognised a critical part of the cultural workforce in the UK and are rapidly increasing in size.
We're therefore pleased to announce details of a new training course below and as attached.
