WORKING AND LEARNING IN THE CULTURAL SECTOR

Researcher: Sheila Galloway

Sponsor: HEFCE’s Higher Education Reachout to Business and the Community Fund (HEROBC) Transitional Funding. October 2003- July 2004

‘Working and Learning in the Cultural Sector’ was supported by HEFCE’s HEROBC initiative as part of a University-wide programme. HEROBC helps higher education institutions increase their capability to provide opportunities for varied activities which facilitate knowledge transfer to business and professional communities. This includes companies of all sizes and the wider community. This project explored key concerns with representatives from the cultural sector, through ‘stakeholder’ interviews, and with individuals in a variety of working contexts and consolidated links with arts organisations.
