Previous traineeship programmes
Transforming Archives was our traineeship programme between 2014 and 2017, funded by the National Lottery Heritage Fund. The programme provided 37 paid traineeships for people new to the archive sector in England and provided an introduction to archives, training and on-the-job development. Hear from past Transforming Archives trainees about how they used the skills they had learnt to find rewarding jobs.
