Throughout the course of this blog, I've mentioned the Skills for the Future programme on numerous occasions. It seems only right therefore to give a bit of explanation as to what exactly Skills for the Future is, and how you could get involved in the programme.
Skills for the Future is a heritage lottery project that is funding numerous programmes within the sector, with the aim of preserving heritage skills by offering work-based training in a wide range of skills. These include looking after buildings, landscapes, habitats, species, and museum and archive collections. These skills will give all the participants a real chance at pursuing a career in heritage.
The Museum of East Anglian Life is working in partnership with Gressinghall Farm and Workhouse to provide a series of programmes over three years. I've included all the details of these programmes at the end of this post, including the latest advert for a Farrier post at Gressinghall.
