Working with interns

Posted: 29 Nov 2011 02:25 AM PST

Arts Council England and Creative & Cultural Skills have published a new guide for working with interns.


Entitled Internships in the Arts - A Guide for Arts Organisations, the guide offers advice on how to develop high-quality and mutually beneficial employment opportunities, and sets out the legal obligations for arts and cultural organisations offering internships.


Recommendations include:


- an open, transparent and fair recruitment process
- internships being well planned and based on a wider internship and equal opportunities policy
- offering meaningful experiences and responsibilities that contribute to the aims of the organisation
- paying interns at least national minimum wage


The guide also highlights the legal obligations for organisations offering internships, including the need for them to ensure that they are operating within the requirements of the National Minimum Wage Act.


To download the guide, see: artscouncil.org.uk

Building Future Artists – in the new Dec/Jan edition of mailout

Posted: 29 Nov 2011 02:00 AM PST

Staffordshire University image 2If you wanted a career in the participatory arts what would you need to study?

It was a simple question asked by a member of the editorial team – yet there was no simple answer.

Two weeks of trawling through University lists and courses taught us that not only were the participatory arts lacking a real presence in our educational institutions but the courses which were available were incredibly difficult to access as well.

mailout set off on the mammoth task to present to you the leading, and most accessible, participatory arts course this country has to offer.

Subscribe to mailout to find out how the University of Derby, East 15 Acting School, Goldsmith University of London, University of the West of Scotland and Staffordshire University are building the next generation of participatory and community art workers.

To subscribe to our wonderful Dec/Jan edition is simple, just follow the link: http://mailout.co/mailout_magazines/mailout-magazine-decemberjanuary-2011-12/
