About This Opportunity

We’re running two online sessions with Historic Environment Scotland (HES) and Developing the Young Workforce (DYW) looking at the theme and content of their Heritage Careers Week coming up in autumn.

The Heritage Careers Week typically focuses on a social media campaign, online sessions with staff in creative, cultural or heritage jobs and in-person activities with local DYW staff. You can learn more about last year’s week here.

HES and DYW are keen to hear young people’s thoughts and ideas on how the week should run, including what and who should be involved. So this is your chance to have your say and help design Heritage Careers Week 2024!

Two online sessions are taking place and it would be brilliant if you could attend both. If you’re only free for one, that’s absolutely fine, we’d still love to have you!
