Student Name:<\/strong> Niamh<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pathway Programme:<\/strong> Pathways to Arts, Culture and Heritage (2025 Cohort)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Internship Role<\/strong>: Assistant Archivist<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Internship Employer:<\/strong> Teign Heritage Centre<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Summary of Organisation:<\/strong> Teign Heritage<\/a> is a small local museum that attracts about 10,000 visitors per year. It contains two galleries, a small retail area, and office and archive room. The centre is run entirely by volunteers, has a small management team and around 15 archivists. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Please briefly outline the project\/tasks\/responsibilities you worked on during your Professional Pathways internship:<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

“My project was to create an exhibition proposal for an upcoming exhibition – Teignmouth in the 1920’s. To do this, I worked alongside the Senior Archivist to navigate the museum’s archives for relevant items for the exhibition. I was responsible for handling and repackaging delicate items according to procedure, and I particularly focused on a selection of paper guidebooks from 1920-28. At the end of my internship, I produced a document containing my ideas for the exhibition. I was also responsible for creating promotional material for the exhibition.<\/em>“<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How has the Professional Pathways programme helped you in taking the next steps in your career?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

“The training helped me in taking the next steps of my career because it was useful to hear from industry professionals. I had a prior interest in archival management but after one speaker discussed her role as an archivist, I knew I wanted to pursue this as a career.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Furthermore, in my internship I directly contributed to archival management. I used this on my CV when applying for archival jobs. I was invited to an interview as a Trainee Archivist, and I used my experience I gained in my internship during the interview. I was offered the job and I believe the practical skills I gained in my internship, and the soft skills developed in the training aided me in the process.<\/em>“<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Given the Professional Pathways internship is 35 hours in total, what advice would you give to other students to ensure they gain as much as possible from the experience?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

“My advice is to ask, where possible, for a clear timetable\/plan of each day with your employer. I found it useful that THC supplied me with a timetable so I could see when I was learning new skills and whether there were any gaps in things I wanted to have a look at. For example, I wanted more time spent on cataloguing, so I asked my line manager whether I could fit more into the timetable. This meant that I could spend time on a section of the internship I was really interested in.<\/em>“<\/p>\n\n\n\n


Why would you recommend the Professional Pathways programme to other students?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

“I would recommend Pathways because it increases employability. The training improved my soft skills and was a good way of understanding the career progression of industry professionals. My internship gave me practical skills in an environment I wanted to pursue as a career, and this experience helped me secure a graduate job. I believe that Pathways gives you the experience necessary for the difficult graduate job search.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

My internship was also a lot of fun! I think the internship not only improves your employability, but is also a great experience of learning and meeting new people. It was exciting, rewarding and genuinely an enjoyable experience.<\/em>“<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
