The Future of Work in the Art World   Last week, Toby Monk, our Director of Recruitment and Engagement, joined an esteemed panel at The Art Business Conference to explore how the art world is evolving, and what that means for its future workforce.   The session: “The Future of Work: Apprenticeships, Diversity and a Stronger Workforce for the Art World”, brought together voices from across the sector to discuss accessibility, freelancing, leadership, and training.   Since launching in 2017, our award-winning UK Apprenticeship Programme has welcomed over 160 apprentices, 82% from state schools and a wide mix of ethnicities, reflecting our commitment to opening doors in the art world.   Now, we’re taking the next step....Toby updated about the upcoming launch of the Art Market Coordinator Apprenticeship, the first dedicated qualification tailored to the commercial art sector. Developed in collaboration with peers across the industry, this programme will equip the next generation with the practical skills, knowledge, and confidence to thrive in our rapidly changing market. #ArtBusinessConference #Christies #FutureOfWork #Apprenticeships #ArtWorldCareers #DiversityInArt #ArtMarketCoordinator #ChristiesApprenticeships
