Emerging Talent Placement Partnerships

Description

That is why we work in partnership with those organisations who really know the audiences we are targeting for this programme; and can provide resource and expertise to attract and engage with emerging talent.

We would require our Partner to be able to provide guidance/support/training to our staff on good practice on dealing with such issues. 4. Provide training for historic England staff for managing young people in the workspace and inclusive work practices. We would not require partners to undertake interviews of candidates for the placements themselves; this will be undertaken by Historic England (or other relevant placement host organisations).
