Call for applications--June Baker Trust Grants

June Baker Trust Grants for Emerging Conservators

The June Baker Trust is inviting applications to round two of its
Emerging Conservators grants scheme, which aims to help conservators
at an early stage in their careers establish themselves in the
profession.

The scheme gives grants to support conservators with strong Scottish
connections in the process of gaining their early workplace
experience to fund a learning and development plan of their own
choosing.

If you are between 6 months and 3 years of qualifying you are
eligible to apply for a grant of up to UKP1,000 to fund learning and
development activities.  You must be gaining practical experience in
a Scottish conservation workplace, or can otherwise demonstrate a
strong Scottish connection and commitment to conservation in
Scotland.

The learning and development plan must meet the June Baker Trust's
objectives for the scheme which are for recently qualified
conservation professionals to:

    Build professional networks
    Gain practical and employability skills
    Widen sector understanding

with the aim of gaining practical experience and improving their
future employability.

The closing date for the current round of the scheme is February 8,
2016.

The scheme will run for further year with a third round in February
2017, and has been made possible thanks to the generosity of the
Gordon Fraser Charitable Trust.

Please note that the Emerging Conservators grants scheme runs
alongside the June Baker Trust's regular scheme giving grants to
Conservators in Scotland.  The regular scheme will open in March
with an application deadline of 31 May 2016.
