Throughout the last year conservation students have been forced to rapidly adapt to learning in an ever-changing environment.
In doing so, students have proven to be remarkably resilient and proactive in ensuring that they develop a broad range of skills, knowledge and understanding to help them as they embark on the next stages of their careers. However we know funding can be a barrier, which is why we are delighted to see that the Anna Plowden Trust and The Clothworkers’ Foundation have made available a limited number of grants for up to £1,000 to allow those graduating from recognised UK conservation training programmes in 2020 to gain further practical training or experience.
The grant could be used to support a wide range of activities, such as the costs of deferred or additional short-term work experience placements to allow someone to develop their skills.
The scheme will run until early April (no set deadlines for applications). This is a good opportunity for students and recent graduates to think creatively how they can use this funding to support the development of their practical skills.
