MENTORING

MUSEUM CAREER CONFERENCE

Lead by your peers, for you. Working in museums and heritage sites can be challenging and rewarding. Let's gather together to learn from each other as we interact.

From August 2020, LMG will be participating in the Mentoring Pathways programme at Birkbeck University.

The programme aims to support the career aspirations of Birkbeck students by bridging the gap between academic learning and workplace practices, developing soft skills and broadening professional networks.

At LMG, we are dedicated to stepping up our efforts in developing your career in the museum and heritage sector. Through this annual conference, we believe we can facilitate progress in this area. We are always striving to make a difference, and invite you to learn more and lend your support.
