ICON Internships

The Institute of Conservation (Icon) is today delighted to announce
the launch of its updated Icon Internship Programme (IIP).

This new programme follows in the footsteps of the successful
Heritage Lottery funded work based training bursary scheme,
delivered by Icon, which has over the last 9 years placed 101
non-conservation and conservation trained interns with a variety of
hosts across a range of disciplines.  Today over 90% of those former
interns are now employed or pursuing further training within the
Cultural Heritage Sector.

Alongside this scheme Icon has also worked with other grant making
bodies and partner employers to provide a further 45 work based
training placements.

With the completion of the HLF funded programme, Icon is fully
committed to delivering a legacy internship programme and continue
to develop new entrants into the conservation profession.

For further information about Icon's Internship Programme, please
