Now in its 13th year, Heritage Debate brings sector leaders, professionals, volunteers and students together for cross sector insight, connection and to find solutions to key challenges facing the sector. The title of this year’s Heritage Debate is: ‘Careers at a Crossroads: How Can We Future-Proof the Heritage Sector Workforce?’ and will take place from 11am-1pm on Wednesday 15 November 2023.
The Format and Programme
At this online debate, a panel of experts representing different streams of the sector workforce will each make the case for a key priority area needed to futureproof heritage careers. From apprenticeships to trustee positions (and every role in between), we’ll be asking where we need to focus efforts to make heritage a viable and rewarding career choice. The debate will explore career pathways, volunteering, fair pay and progression, access and inclusion, youth engagement, and much more. Interactive elements will allow attendees to share their own career experiences during the event, as well as voting to decide the outcome of the debate. Our panellists will be announced very soon – watch this space.
Publication Opportunity – Share Your Perspective
We are inviting contributions to a ‘Letters of Advice’ blog series, which gives you or your organisation the opportunity to offer guidance to fellow heritage professionals facing a crossroads in their careers. This could be a student unsure whether heritage is for them, a mid-career professional looking for opportunities to progress, a trustee considering whether to renew their term, or someone considering a change in direction – whether you have personal reflections from your career or professional advice to share, we want to hear from you. The letters will be featured on our website and spotlighted before and during the event….
