Session 2: Help Me Help You - Student Internships for Small Museums

How can your museum benefit from student interns? How can your museum cultivate internship opportunities that will benefit students? Co-presented by a museum professional with a research focus in museum labor and a current student whose internship is currently launching her career, this session will discuss strategies for developing, evaluating, and marketing a sustainable internship program that speaks to the needs of your institution, the needs of the future generation of museum workers, and best practices in museum labor.
