Work placement toolkit for museums, libraries and archives
These guidelines are a ‘toolkit’ designed to help you make work experience placements a productive, positive and pleasant experience for you and for students.
The guidelines have not been designed to be read in sequence like a novel! The intention is that you use the guidelines, as a ‘toolkit’ and dip into the sections that you feel are most relevant and applicable to your organisation.
