Fair Museum Jobs Career Summit

Fair Museum Jobs (FMJ) is delighted to announce a week-long, free online heritage careers event in partnership with Group for Education in Museums (GEM) with support from Art Fund.

This ground-breaking programme will sit at the intersection of a museum conference and a careers advice event, empowering the current and potential workforce to regain agency and confidence during a complex period of change, and supporting the sector to make ethical, sustainable improvements to recruitment and employment practices.

The events will take place across the week of Monday 23 November, completely online and completely free. Attendee booking for events will open in early November.

The sessions over the week will be in 4 strands:

• What types of jobs exist in museums/heritage?

Panels about the varied areas of museum work.

• Managing your career

Sessions to empower people at all stages – from pre-first job to management and leadership – to think about themselves, their careers and future options.

• Real Talk

Events focused on real, practical tips and workshops to navigate working life and improve working practice.

• Supporting the sector

A strand focussing on where anyone in the sector can find help and support both formally and informally.

GEM will be contributing to sessions across the strands to ensure that the importance of learning roles is highlighted across the board.
