Delivery Lead Organisation: BFER Delivery team
To support young people and adults to gain experience in heritage jobs by providing funding for skills training.
To link with and support local work experience and paid work placement/apprenticeship schemes to create heritage focussed opportunities.
To improve the available resource of people seeking careers in heritage in the Scheme area and wider Brecks by enabling partners to engage young people and adults in work experience and/or paid internships.
To raise awareness of heritage-based career opportunities in the Scheme area.
This project co-ordinated the placement of students with Partner organisations for work experience throughout the BFER project delivery period as well as funding one-off training and educational experiences.
It raised awareness of heritage-based careers and opportunities within the Scheme area and wider Brecks with higher education providers and employment support organisations.
Bush Adventures was contracted to deliver specialist supported training for young people ‘not in employment, education, or training’ (NEETs), and students with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND).
We interviewed 15 professionals from the heritage and conservation industries to find out what lead them into their chosen career in the Brecks, and what they enjoy most about it. You can click on each individual profile to find out more.
