What does it really take to build and sustain a museum career? And how do you figure it out as you go?
Let’s pull back the curtain on the realities of working in the field. Hear from a museum career coach and professionals at different career stages as they share candid insights, personal experiences, and lessons learned along the way. We’ll explore what isn’t always taught: navigating the realities of the job market, building the right skills, and growing your network to create a career that lasts. Whether you’re just starting or looking for a solid next step, you’ll leave with practical strategies, clearer direction, and the reassurance that you don’t have to figure it out on your own.
This program is FREE for all to attend; however, registration is required.
