Work Experience with Heritage & Culture Warwickshire

Year 10

For Y10 pupils we offer a three-day programme. We aim to provide a taste of the whole range of careers available in the Heritage Sector*. Placements are based at the following Warwick sites: - Market Hall Museum, Warwickshire County Record Office and Museum Collections Centre.

Our capacity to host pupils is limited due to staff availability. We want to ensure that our programme is available to those who have a genuine interest in a future career in the Heritage sector.
