Diversify: overview
People from ethnic minorities, people with disabilities and people from less affluent backgrounds are under-represented in the museum and gallery workforce.
The Museums Association's Diversify scheme made museum careers more accessible to people from these groups.
The Diversify scheme ended in 2011 but the resources on these pages should be of help to museums looking to create positive-action traineeships. And for an idea of how much impact Diversify made on museums, take a look at the results of the MA's 2012 research paper Diversify Destination Research.
Use the links and downloads below for a detailed explanation of how to run a successful positive-action traineeship.
