Within the broader Special Collections and Grainger Museum department, the Curate Your Career program is designed to provide insights into careers in Museums and Galleries for Access Melbourne students.

The Curate Your Career program provides a series of informal ‘In Conversation’ sessions with Museum and Gallery professionals with practical guidance and advice on how to compete for jobs and other opportunities in the Museum and Gallery sector.
Tamara Jones, Client Services Officer, will discuss the museum and Percy Grainger and talk about Grainger’s folk music collecting. Chelsea Harris is the creator and Manager of the Curate your Career project, alongside her position as the Exhibitions Marketing and Events Coordinator for Special Collections at the Grainger Museum at the University of Melbourne. Chelsea will discuss the Curate Your Career program.
