The Tomorrow People: Entry to the Museum Workforce

April 1, 2007 | Public Programs, Professional Development, Conferences, and Networks, Exhibitions
The Tomorrow People is a research report written by Museums Association deputy director Maurice Davies while he held a visiting fellowship at the University of East Anglia. It draws on the experience of over 100 museum managers, job-seekers, university lecturers, policy makers and junior staff. It identifies several problems with the way museums recruit and develop entry-level staff. The overall conclusion is that museums, and sector bodies, need to take far more responsibility for training and development of staff at entry-level and in their first few years in post. In addition, university museum-studies courses need to take more responsibility for their overall impact on the museum workforce.
