Globella were approached by the West Midlands Historic Buildings Trust as they were running out of time to deliver their goal to hold the first Heritage Careers Fair in the district.

 

The Heritage Careers Fair was created for all who may be interested in careers across the heritage industry. Exhibitors exhibited throughout the day that covered a variety of career pathways from conservation to education, archaeology to historic building management, architecture to digital officers, archival work and many more. A talks programme was organised and delivered as well as demonstrations throughout the event.

​

The event was the perfect opportunity for people to ask questions about volunteering, career pathways, experiences, and for advice to find out if a career in the heritage sector would suit them.

​

The event was attended by several schools that were reached out to as well as people with an interest in heritage, professional organisations  looking to network and volunteers.
