Skills for the Future
Traineeships at Tate

Tate is looking for college and university graduates as well as
professionals from other industries to join an incredible
Traineeship programme.

Our traineeships are aimed at training new people in the skills
which will be important for museums in the future. The aim is also
to create a more diverse workforce, by attracting people who might
not otherwise have considered a career working back-of-house in a
museum or art gallery.

We're one of the most recognised art organisations, with a
commitment to British and World art. We'll develop our trainees into
a team too, teaching them the craft of conservation and exhibition.

Each placement will last for 18 months, at a salary of UKP16,230 per
year. All of the traineeships will be based at/between Tate Britain
(Millbank, London) or Tate Stores (Southwark, London).

The closing date for the submission of completed application forms
is Monday 1 August 2011. Interviews will be held 15-24 August 2011.
