Work paid at £120 per day and £60 per day for training, as you start out in self-employment
A unique and alternative route into the cultural sector

What do our Young Freelancers have to say?
My short time as a Young Freelancer has been a rapid learning curve: I have gained more confidence and knowledge in one year than I have from all my previous experiences put together!
I now feel equipped with a toolkit that means I can take my career in museums forward in whatever direction I choose.
